Origin: Central America

Tree from tropical America with shiny dark green leaves, white sap, and yellow, funnel shaped flowers. Fruit somewhat angular, smooth, with two large, oily seeds. All parts poisonous but can be medicinal for toothache, skin sores, and as a purgative, if used judiciously.

The milky juice of Thevetia peruviana is highly toxic on account of its cardiac glycoside content, and has been used as a vesicant also records that it may cause dermatitis. The yellow oleander is dangerously poisonous and has resulted in many fatalities, especially on Oahu, Hawaii.
