WICKED PLANTS: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother & Other Botanical Atrocities

A tree that sheds poisonous 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. The author takes on these and two hundred more of Mother Nature's most appalling creations in this A-Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. Drawings.
