  Dieffenbachia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dieffenbachia is a genus of tropical plants in the Family Araceae noted for their patterned leaves.
If a leaf is chewed, these crystals cause a burning sensation in the mouth and throat; swelling can occur along with a temporary inability to speak, and from this effect the plants are commonly called dumb cane or the mother-in-law plant (other names include Galatea and Leopard Lily).
Slaves were sometimes punished by having dieffenbachia put into their mouths.
