Nutgall (Rhus chinensis) - Interesting facts
Members of the genus Rhus are closely related to those of the genus Toxicodendron (better known as Poison Oak, Poison Sumac or Poison Ivy). Some species look very similar to their more poisonous relatives, but have little to no epidermal toxicology. The dried wood of the plants from this genus fluoresce under UV light.
