{
Poison ivy } (
Bot .),
a poisonous climbing plant (
formerly {
Rhus Toxicodendron },
or {
Rhus radicans },
now classified as {
Toxicodendron radicans })
of North America .
It is common as a climbing vine ,
especially found on tree trunks ,
or walls ,
or as a low ,
spreading vine or as a shrub .
As a low vine it grows well in lightly shaded areas ,
recognizable by growing in clusters of three leaves .
Its leaves are trifoliate ,
rhombic -
ovate ,
and variously notched .
Its form varies slightly from location to location ,
leading to some speculation that it may consist of more than one species .
Many people are poisoned by it ,
though some appear resistant to its effects .
Touching the leaves may leave a residue of an oil on the skin ,
and if not washed off quickly ,
sensitive areas of skin become reddened and develop multiple small blisters ,
lasting for several days to several weeks ,
and causing a persistent itch .
The toxic reaction is due to an oil ,
present in all parts of the plant except the pollen ,
called {
urushiol },
the active component of which is the compound {
pentadecylacatechol } (

producing plant often lumped together with the poison ivy ({
Toxicodendron radicans })
in common terminology ,
but more properly distinguished as the more shrubby {
Toxicodendron quercifolium } (
syn . {
Toxicodendron diversilobum }),
common in California and Oregon .
Opinion varies as to whether the poison oak and poison ivy are only variants of a single species .

{
Poison sumac } (
Bot .),
a poisonous shrub formerly considered to be of the genus {
Rhus } ({
Rhus venenata }),
but now classified as {
Toxicodendron vernix }; --
also called {
poison ash }, {
poison dogwood },
and {
poison elder }.
It has pinnate leaves on graceful and slender common petioles ,
and usually grows in swampy places .
Both this plant and the poison ivy ({
Toxicodendron radicans },
formerly {
Rhus Toxicodendron })
have clusters of smooth greenish white berries ,
while the red -
fruited species of this genus are harmless .
The tree ({
Rhus vernicifera })
which yields the celebrated Japan lacquer is almost identical with the poison sumac ,
and is also very poisonous .
The juice of the poison sumac also forms a lacquer similar to that of Japan .
[
1913 Webster PJC ]
Syn :
Venom ;
virus ;
bane ;
pest ;
malignity .
Usage : {
Poison }, {
Venom }.
Poison usually denotes something received into the system by the mouth ,
breath ,
etc .
Venom is something discharged from animals and received by means of a wound ,
as by the bite or sting of serpents ,
scorpions ,
etc .
Hence ,
venom specifically implies some malignity of nature or purpose .
