I Love Plants
Hippomane mancinella
One of the most toxic plants in the world, It looks like a harmless tree, but touching its branches, eating its fruit, picking its leaves, sitting under the tree or a close distance can be lethal.
Apart from short-term danger, some compounds in the tree can be carcinogenic, promoting the growth of benign and malignant tumors.
Tends to live along the coast, especially in brackish water. In Florida, and the United States in general, this tree is in danger.
JUST AMAZING!
