ANACARDIACEAE is the plant “family” [class, order, family, genus, species] to which poison-oak belongs.
ANACARDIACEAE, pp.63-97 and 95 in Mitchell and Rook
In vernacular rengas, hangus, rangus, ruengas, ingas, angas and ligas are used for trees the sap of which produces sores of the skin.

Anacardiaceae is a family of flowering plants bearing fruits that are drupes.
Plants of the family Anacardiaceae are probably the most common single cause of contact dermatitis in man. The skin reaction occurs following sensitisation to various alkyl catechols, phenols, quinols, and resorcinols.
Species of the Anacardiaceae family are grown in mostly pantropical regions, and are usually trees, shrubs, or occasionally woody vines.

 Secondary Compounds Within the Anacardiaceae
INTRODUCTION Anacardiaceae are found around the globe and millions of people and animals are aquatinted with them, chiefly because of the irritant effects of their chemicals rather than their botanical interest.
The principle function of the secondary chemicals in the Anacardiaceae is probably to serve as a defense against vertebrate and insect herbivores.
Oleoresins of the Anacardiaceae are generally mixtures of phenolic compounds which vary with respect to length, branching, degree of saturation, and side chain identity (Mitchell 1990).

Anacardiaceae Lindl., the cashew family, is an economically important, primarily pantropically distributed family of 82 genera and over 700 species.
To understand intergeneric relationships within Anacardiaceae, phylogenies were constructed from sequences of three chloroplast loci (matK, trnLF, and rps16), using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood as the optimality criteria.
From age estimates of the Sapindales, the isolation of Madagascar, and the phylogeny of the African/Madagascan clade of Anacardiaceae, it is unlikely that vicariance played a role in the evolution of Madagascan Anacardiaceae.

Anacardiaceae is most well known for its edible fruits and seeds, contact dermatitis-causing species, and lacquer plants.
Establishing the root of the Anacardiaceae is an essential part of determining the intrafamilial relationships.
Numerous authors have recognized Burseraceae as sister to Anacardiaceae, a relationship supported by Gadek et al.’s rbcL DNA sequence data from a few representatives (three Burseraceae and 7 Anacardiaceae) of each family.

 Sapindales
Anacardiaceae + Burseraceae: biflavonoids [alone in order]; (vessel elements with scalariform or reticulate perforations); vertical intercellular secretory canals in phloem, this surrounded by a light-coloured, sinuous, sclerenchymatous band [not easy to see]; cuticle waxes usu.
Anacardiaceae may be fairly readily recognised because of their often fl and/or rather resinous-smelling exudate; the leaves often have fl discolorations and the blade may dry a distinctive grey colour.
Anacardiaceae are noted for the sometimes extremely violent reactions their exudates cause; catechols, resorcinols and other types of phenolic compounds, often in a mixture, as in urushiol, are involved.

The family Anacardiaceae (the cashew family) includes the genus Toxicodendron (poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, etc.) and other genera with cross-reactive allergenic plants (Mangifera, Anacardium, Semecarpus, and Gluta).
These authors point out that their article serves as the basis for the successful identification of these plants, but that to become truly proficient, one must identify and observe several plants in a location where they can be observed throughout the year.
As noted in the list of Anacardiaceae above, there are two species each of poison ivy and poison oak and one species of poison sumac listed that are common to the United States.
