Piscidia piscipula
Folklore, Myths and Legends
History and Traditions
This tropical shrub grows wild in Central Amercia and the northern parts of South Amercia. The bark of the root works similarly to asprin pain relievers by blocking an enzyme that produces inflammatory and pain causing chemicals called prostaglandins. It gained its nickname "fish poison tree" from the West Indian practice of using it to stupify fish to make them easier to catch.
