Poison trees, killer flowers, stun bushes, strangler vines, leaves capable of unleashing war - in the book of Amy Stewart you will find descriptions of about two hundred selected "villains" of the plant world. A beautifully illustrated selection of seemingly harmless plants that should be avoided in the neighborhood and contact unless you plan to go to the forefathers ahead of time. You will be surprised to find some of them on your windowsill, front garden or garden. A collection of chilling botany, on the pages of which medicine, history, chemistry and physics are closely intertwined with legends and mysticism, will entertain, alarm and enlighten even the most experienced gardeners and nature lovers, and at the same time all those who had triples in botany and who that I heard that plants are not at all as harmless as they seem.
