Definition
A genus of tropical plants known for their caustic sap, which can cause blindness or severe irritation to the skin and eyes.
Etymology
From Latin 'excaecaria,' derived from 'excaecus' (blinded). The plant was named for the dangerous effects of its sap, which were notable enough to build the danger into the plant's scientific name.
Kelly Says
This plant's name literally means 'the blinding plant,' and it actually can cause severe eye damage—giving it such a direct, scary name shows how botanists used Latin names to communicate genuine dangers about plants they encountered.
