Apparently as recently as the 19th century, coffee was forbidden in Ethiopia (the birthplace of coffee, where its cultural importance is tremendous) by the Orthodox Church. Coffee, along with tobacco, cannabis and khat were considered "cursed plants" because they were reputed to have not dried when Christ was crucified.
> Khat was cursed by God forever to be chewed by humans because of causing a divine displeasure when God came to Earth and all the plants bowed before him showing ultimate respect with the exception of Khat.
Unfortunately, this is the only source I could find referring to plants marked as "cursed" by the church for the reason that they didn't "bow before [God]." Most primary sources are in Amharic, of which I know little.
The best source I could find is http://www.ijhssnet.com/journals/Vol_3_No_21_[Special_Issue_... which describes the condemnation of khat:
