Poison Ivy - Look-Alikes
|
|
|
|
There are several plants that resemble
Poison Ivy in appearance.
|
|
|
 |
Toothwort
|
|
|
|
 | Manitoba Maple (Acer negundo)
(Box Elder)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Raspberry
|
|
|
|
|
| Bladdernut (Staphylea trifolia)
(resembles Poison Ivy only because they both have three leaves).
But Bladdernut has opposite leaves. |
|
|
|
|
 | Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica)
The leaves of this shrub are very aromatic when rubbed. But of
course, by then it's too late if they aren't and you've just rubbed
a Poison Ivy leaf! :)
|
|
|
|
|
 | Poison Sumac (Toxicodendron vernix)
It doesn't look like Poison Ivy, but the effects of
touching it are the same.
