Squaw Bush


October 1, 1804 in the Louisiana purchase territory is where i found the plant Squaw bush. Its not a very "extraordinary" plant but it is very interesting. I do hope you like my notes i had taken on them.
Description: Squaw bush is a member of the cashew family (family Anacardiaceae) which includes trees, shrubs, and few woody vines with resinous sap often in bark and other parts; in a few species the resin or volatile oil is caustic and poisonous to the skin. Flowers tiny or small; commonly white. Height: to 8 ft (2.4 m).
I found this plant in Coastal sage scrub, chaparral area.
