A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glistening red seed that stops the heart; and a leaf that triggered a war. Amy Stewart, bestselling author of Flower Confidential, takes on over two hundred of Mother Nature's most appalling creations in an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, Wicked Plants will entertain, alarm, and enlighten even the most intrepid gardeners.
