Synopsis
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., The bestselling author of "Flower Confidential" delves into the dark side of the plant kingdom to reveal the sordid lives of plants behaving badly.

Good starting point
Wicked Plants has a very broad scope, not much depth. I was not looking for textbook. Wicked plants guides us through the vast overwhelming complex of botanicals and others. Use this book to end confusion and target areas of interest. Then wade through the increasingly large body of research to find the desired specifics. On the down side are the cartoon drawings that litter some pages and the repetition of some questionable historic "factoids."

Very interesting.
A great book for plant enthusiasts. Has very interesting and in-depth information about the more toxic and "special propertied" plants of the world; both well-known and those that are hardly heard of.

Thoroughly enjoyable botanical mayhem
This is an entertaining and informative true facts book written with a wry sense of humor. Plants common and (here in North America) rare are detailed in all their potential malevolence. Consider it a sort of botanical "Inside Edition"!

Handy reference book.
It's not a novel so it's not really compelling. However, it is well researched and useful for training children to be safe in the woods.

Wicked Plants by Amy Stewart
This book is very interesting view of the dark side of botany. Though most of the plants she wrote about, I already knew they were poisonous and or just a little scary to be around. The stories and history behind the knowledge of each plant made it worth learning about all over again. It is a reminder of just because it's a pretty plant doesn't mean it wont kill you. Truly an exciting read of good plants gone bad.
