A tree that sheds poison 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. In "Wicked Plants," Stewart takes
on over two hundred of Mother Nature s most appalling creations. It
s an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise
offend. You ll learn which plants to avoid (like exploding shrubs),
which plants make themselves exceedingly unwelcome (like the vine
that ate the South), and which ones have been killing for centuries
(like the weed that killed Abraham Lincoln's mother).
Menacing botanical illustrations and splendidly ghastly drawings
create a fascinating portrait of the evildoers that may be lurking
in your own backyard. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and
legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain,
alarm, and enlighten even the most intrepid gardeners and nature
lovers.
