| Description |
Common name: Dieffenbachia, Dumb cane Botanical name: Dieffenbachia seguine - [ (def-en-BAH-kee-ah) named for Dr. Ernst Dieffenbach, 19th century German naturalist; (suh-GEEN) derivation obscure; perhaps an altered spelling of Seguin ] Synonyms: Dieffenbachia maculata (Lodd.) G. Don • Dieffenbachia picta (Lodd.) Schott • Dieffenbachia amoena hort. Family: Araceae (aroid, or arum family) - [ (a-RAY-see-ay) the Aroid or Arum family ] Origin: Tropical America Dieffenbachia is a genus of tropical plants in the Family Araceae noted for their patterned leaves. Members of this genus are popular as houseplants because of their tolerance to shade. The Dieffenbachia is often referred to as the "King of Plants". The cells of the dieffenbachia plant contain needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals called raphides. If a leaf is chewed, these crystals cause a burning sensation in the mouth and throat; swelling can occur along with a temporary inability to speak, and from this effect the plants are commonly called dumb cane (other names include Galatea and Leopard Lily). Chewing could result in death if swelling of the throat blocks the airway.
