Description
A tree that sheds poison daggers, a glistening red seed that stops the heart, a shrub that causes paralysis, a vine that strangles, and a leaf that triggered a war. From the widely known poison ivy, to the lesser known mala mujer, these are some of the appalling creations of Mother Nature that can kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain, enlighten, and alarm even the most intrepid gardeners and nature lovers.
