Mangifera indica

MANGO

ANACARDIACEAE

Mangifera

UPL

Some individuals experience irritation and allergic reactions to mango, probably due to its heptadecadienyl-resorcinol content, a polyketide and fatty acid derivative similar to urushiol in poison ivy (Oka et al. 2004).

Metopium toxiferum

FLORIDA POISONTREE; POISONWOOD

ANACARDIACEAE

Metopium

FAC

This species contains certain types of urushiols which may be toxic to some persons exposed to the plant (Gross et al. 1975). In the Bahamas, tests on 20 volunteers found varying degrees of sensitivity, with one developing a severe rash, one a severe local erythematous reaction, 12 developed papules, and six were unaffected (Jackson 1946). Reactions to the toxins may appear a few days after exposure.

Schinus terebinthifolia

BRAZILIAN PEPPER

ANACARDIACEAE

Schinus

FAC

This species was purposely introduced into Florida possibly around 1898 (Williams et al. 2005). As an invasive species, biological control agents are being sought (Wheeler et al. 2017), with two proposed for use: Calophya latiforceps and Pseudophilothrips ichini. This plant contains cardanol, a molecule similar to urushiols that can be irritating to some persons exposed to it (Morton 1978; Stahl et al. 1983). The specific epithet has been determined to appropriately be "terebinthifolia" in accord with a feminine genus, although "terebinthifolius" has been used frequently (Zona 2015).

Listed Status:	(Florida):Source - Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Chapter 5B-40, Florida Administrative Code. 1998, amended.
Endangered:	A species of plants native to the state that are in imminent danger of extinction within the state, the survival of which is unlikely if the causes of a decline in the number of plants continue, and includes all species determined to be endangered or threatened pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
Threatened:	Listed as Threatened Plants in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. Defined as species of plants native to the state that are in rapid decline in the number of plants within the state, but which have not so decreased in such number as to cause them to be endangered.

Listed Status: US	(U.S.) Source - List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
Endangered:	Any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Threatened:	Any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

AD:	Adaptive Species. Plant species designated as FAC or Upland by DEP, but commonly seen in the transition zone in limited numbers.
D:	Deep Species. Plant species commonly found in the deep zone, and designated either FAC or OBL by DEP.
OD:	Outer Deep Species. Plant species commonly found in the outer deep zone, and designated either FACW or OBL by DEP.
T:	Transition Species. Plant species commonly found in the transition zone, and designated either FACW or OBL by DEP.
U:	Upland Species. Plant species that are not expected to be seen in wetlands.

OBL:	Obligate wetland. Occurs almost always under natural conditions in wetlands.
FACW:	Facultative Wetland. Usually occurs in wetlands, but occasionally found in non-wetlands
FAC:	Facultative. equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands.
