Gummi Tree
The gummi tree is a tree most notable for the abundant white flowers that grow on vines that hang amongst its canopy during the summer. On average these trees grow to about twelve feet in height. The flower that grows in this tree is poisonous. The blooms that grow from the vines are considered to be incredibly beautiful, and in some cultures are traditional used to decorate wedding venues as this tree blooms just prior to time of year when most weddings take place. Some consider the use of these flowers as contradictory in such ceremonies, as they have been nicknamed the widow-maker flower, from a time when scorned wives would add the flower to their husbands meals. The blooms are extremely poisonus if consumed.
It has been reported, than anyone that consumes just a single bloom would suffer extreme stomach cramps. So extreme that unless an appropriate antidote was administered within just a few hours of consumption, they would die in extreme pain as their stomach would burst from the corrosive poison of the flower.
