The number of poisonous plants found in homes and
gardens is shocking. House plants like dumbcane and castorbean, and
outdoor plants like hollies, irises, and oleanders are toxic and found
in many gardens.

The North American Guide to Common Poisonous
Plants and Mushrooms is a comprehensive, easy-to-use handbook. The book
is split into four main categories: mushrooms, wild plants, ornamental
and crop plants, and houseplants. Each plant entry includes a clear
photograph to aid the task of identification, a description of the
plant, notes on where they commonly occur, and a description of their
toxic properties. Plants are listed by common name to assist the
non-specialist.
