Top 10 Poisonous Plants
Many of you might remember the junior school science books referring to venomous or poisonous plants. People in the Middle East once believed the existence of a man-eating tree.

In 1878, an article written by Carl Liche, a German explorer, attained widespread attention. He explored the dark regions of Madagascar, assisted by a group of Mkodo tribesmen. In his texts, Carl mentions that he was a witness to a rather unusual scene. A woman from the Mkodo group drank the nectar from a weird-looking tree, and sensing the presence, the pineapple-looking tree wrapped her in the branches and "ate her up."

Even though any such tree doesn't exist in the current world, deadly plants do exist. The pineapple-looking tree might have been an exaggeration of the pitcher plant, which exists in hot and humid regions. The pitcher plant attracts insects and vermin to it. Once they fall into the pitcher, they are unable to escape and become food for the plant.

Although human beings don't need to be afraid of any such danger, these deadly and beautiful creatures certainly attract everyone's attention. Following is a brief compilation of some of the most dangerous plants that grow today.
