A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glinting red seed that stops the heart; a shrub that causes paralysis; a climbing plant that strangles; & a leaf that triggered a war.
Bestselling author Amy Stewart takes on two hundred of Mother Natures most appalling creations in an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate & otherwise offend.
Menacing botanical illustrations render a ghastly portrait of evildoers that may be lurking in your back (or front) garden.
Drawing on history, medicine, science & legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain, enlighten & alarm even the most intrepid gardeners & nature lovers.
