Toxicodendron vernix is the scientific name of 'poison sumac'. The plant contains the same urushiol oil that makes humans want to avoid contact with poison ivy [Toxicodendronradicans] and poison oak [Toxicodendrondiversilobum and Toxicodendron pubescens]. Of the three, poison sumac causes the most extreme allergic reaction in susceptible humans. In fact, many botanists describe poison sumac as the most toxic plant in the United States of America.
