Apocynaceae
Apocynaceae is a large and varied family - including 2,000 species of shrubs, trees, and herbs that are found in temperate, tropical, and xeric environments.
Despite the variation in habitat, form, and succulence of this family, all species are united by the formation of toxic white or milky latex, leading to designation as the "milkweed" or "dogbane" family (1, 2).
