Toxicodendron glaucovirens

Toxicodendron glaucovirens, also known as the black poisonwood, is a plant species belonging to the Anacardiaceae family.

This plant contains urushiol, a toxic compound that causes skin irritation and allergic reactions in some individuals.

Despite its toxic properties, the black poisonwood has been used in traditional medicine for its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which may help in treating conditions such as fever, rheumatism, and skin infections.

In herbal preparations, the leaves of the black poisonwood are often used to make teas and infusions, although caution is advised due to the potential for allergic reactions.
