Fun fact: cashews are in the Anacardiaceae family, most of which contain urushiol, the active irritant of poison ivy.
It includes pistachios and mangoes and poison ivy and poison sumac and poison oak.
It's interesting to think what a Anacardiaceae family reunion would be like.

Here in the temperate zone, the showiness of Anacardiaceae is down to their autumn foliage. This is Rhus copallinum of eastern N. America. The autumnal foliage color is spectacular. #Anacardiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Field botany. I can recognize wildflowers and still sometimes murmur “Anacardiaceae” to myself because what a beautiful word.

Poison ivy (Anacardiaceae: Toxicodendron radicans) is well-known for causing contact dermatitis in most people. A compound in the sap called urushiol typically causes an itchy red rash. In spite of this some animals eat the leaves and birds eat the white berries. Blissfield Michigan, 24 Jun 2025.

The flowers of Anacardiaceae are typical for the order (Sapindales). Note the enlarged, donut-shaped nectar disc between the stamens and the gynoecium (pistil). This is the flower of a mango (Mangifera indica) cultivar that has fewer stamens than the wild type. #Anacardiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

As all gardeners know, cotyledons (the pair of seed "leaves") can look very different from the true, adult leaves of a plant. The cotyledons of this Operculicarya decaryi seedling are simple & linear, but the true leaves are pinnately compound. #seed #cotyledon #Anacardiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

While urushi is known for causing rashes and allergic reactions, in the near future, an injectable medication might be able to treat these allergies. Cashew nuts and pistachios belong to the same family as urushi trees (Anacardiaceae).
