Summary
Latin: Piscidia piscipula - Florida Fishpoison Tree - Jamaican Dogwood - Fishfuddle

Native Americans near the Gulf Coast found that extracts from this plant's bark, roots, twigs, and leaves could sedate fish, which then could be caught by hand. Consequently, the names given to this plant became fishpoison and fishfuddle. This plant is known for its sedative and analgesic properties. The yellowish-brown wood is used for outdoor building, as a source of fuel, and for carving.
