Actually, the way they word it can lead to confusion. For instance, they imply that castor oil is from muscrat or beaver's genitals. That is not so.

Castor oil is "extracted from the seeds of the castor-oil plant. A large plant native to tropical Africa and Asia, the castor-oil plant is also grown for its ornamental value. Used for its fine-quality lubricating properties, it can also act as a cathartic when taken internally."
