A toxic South African plant (Dichapetalum cymosum) that poisons livestock and can be deadly to humans.
From Afrikaans 'gif' (poison) + 'blaar' (leaf), literally 'poison leaf.' The plant earned this name because of its extreme toxicity to animals and people.
Gifblaar is so poisonous that even tiny amounts can kill cattle—and it taught South African ranchers that they had to be careful selectors of grazing land, leading to more sophisticated pastoral knowledge.
