poisonous plants
Deadly garden specimens
Plants that produce toxins harmful to humans or animals when touched, eaten, or otherwise encountered.
The category includes everything from mildly irritating species like poison ivy to deadly ones like hemlock and oleander.
Some plants are poisonous only in certain parts—rhubarb stalks are edible but the leaves are toxic.
