Any agent which, when introduced into the animal organism,             is capable of producing a morbid, noxious, or deadly             effect upon it; as, morphine is a deadly poison; the             poison of pestilential diseases.          2.

(Bot.)             (a) A tree of the genus {Amyris} ({A. balsamifera}) found                   in the West Indies, from the trunk of which a black                   liquor distills, supposed to have poisonous qualities.             (b) The poison sumac ({Rhus venenata}). [U. S.]          {Poison dogwood} (Bot.), poison sumac.          {Poison fang} (Zo[94]l.), one of the superior maxillary teeth             of some species of serpents, which, besides having the             cavity for the pulp, is either perforated or grooved by a             longitudinal canal, at the lower end of which the duct of             the poison gland terminates. See Illust. under {Fang}.          {Poison gland} (Biol.), a gland, in animals or plants, which             secretes an acrid or venomous matter, that is conveyed             along an organ capable of inflicting a wound.          {Poison hemlock} (Bot.), a poisonous umbelliferous plant             ({Conium maculatum}). See {Hemlock}.          {Poison ivy} (Bot.), a poisonous climbing plant ({Rhus             Toxicodendron}) of North America. It is common on stone             walls and on the trunks of trees, and has trifoliate,             rhombic-ovate, variously notched leaves. Many people are             poisoned by it, if they touch the leaves. See {Poison             sumac}. Called also {poison oak}, and {mercury}.          {Poison nut}. (Bot.)             (a) Nux vomica.             (b) The tree which yields this seed ({Strychnos                   Nuxvomica}).

Both this plant and the poison ivy ({Rhus             Toxicodendron}) have clusters of smooth greenish white             berries, while the red-fruited species of this genus are             harmless. The tree ({Rhus vernicifera}) which yields the             celebrated Japan lacquer is almost identical with the             poison sumac, and is also very poisonous. The juice of the             poison sumac also forms a lacquer similar to that of             Japan.          Syn: Venom; virus; bane; pest; malignity.          Usage: {Poison}, {Venom}. Poison usually denotes something                   received into the system by the mouth, breath, etc.                   Venom is something discharged from animals and                   received by means of a wound, as by the bite or sting                   of serpents, scorpions, etc. Hence, venom specifically                   implies some malignity of nature or purpose.
