Toxic/ Poisonous Indoor & Outdoor Plants (with Photos !): (Listed alphabetical by common name.)

            Please download the original UC Davis list: Toxic Plants.pdf

Toxicity Classes: (As listed in third column plant table below):

1  Major Toxicity  These plants may cause serious illness or death. If ingested, immediately call the Poison Control Center or your doctor.
2  Minor Toxicity  Ingestion of these plants may cause minor illnesses such as vomiting or diarrhea. If ingested, call the Poison Control Center or your doctor.
3  Oxalates  The juice or sap of these plants contains oxalate crystals. These needle-shaped crystals can irritate the skin, mouth, tongue, and throat, resulting in throat swelling, breathing difficulties, burning pain, and stomach upset. Call the Poison Control Center or your doctor if any of these symptoms appear following ingestion of plants.
4  Dermatitis The juice, sap, or thorns of these plants may cause a skin rash or irritation. Wash the affected area of skin with soap and water as soon as possible after contact. The rashes may be very serious and painful. Call the Poison Control Center or your doctor if symptoms appear following contact with the plants.
5  Animal toxicity  Pets, especially cats and dogs, frequently ingest plants. If a plant is known to be hazardous to humans, it will probably be toxic for animals as well. For a list of plants which are toxic to animals, call your local University of California Cooperative Extension office and ask for Publication 21564.

A Note About Photos:  We have selected a representative photo for each poisonous plant (multiple-listed plants have mulitple photos).  There are many flower color and leaf shape variations within each plant family.  Many totally gentically different plants look very similar to each other. For more comprehensive identification, please look up additional photos online.
