it's really quite bad, isn't it?

Clustering fishtail palm

Fishtail palm

Family: Arecaceae

短穗鱼尾葵

a species of palm native to Tropical Asia from India to Java to southern China,

Caryota mitis has clustered stems up to 10 m (33 feet) tall and 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter. Leaves can be up to 3 m (10 feet) long. Flowers are purple, and the fruits—harmful to humans—are dark purple or red. Do not eat from this tree!

The fruit of C. mitis is saturated with raphides, sharp, needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate. The raphides are strong irritants that cause damage and subsequent itching upon contact with skin, and if ingested, the mouth. This is a result of the physical structure of the raphides, and not any chemical reaction. Do not eat from this tree!

Caryota urens is a species of flowering plant in the palm family from the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia where they grow in fields and rainforest clearings. The epithet urens is Latin for "stinging" alluding to the chemicals in the fruit. They are commonly called solitary fishtail palm, toddy palm, wine palm, jaggery palm.

Fishtail still has his favorite toy -- a small squirrel without any stuffing -- that he got shortly after joining our family. He loves that thing and carries it all over the house!
