Members of the Anacardiaceae bear fruits that are drupes and in some cases produce urushiol, an Irritation, irritant. The Anacardiaceae include numerous genera, several of which are economically important, notably cashew (in the type genus ''Anacardium''), mango, Toxicodendron vernicifluum, Chinese lacquer tree, Spondias mombin, yellow mombin, Peruvian pepper, poison ivy, poison oak, sumac, Cotinus, smoke tree, Sclerocarya birrea, marula and Amphipterygium adstringens, cuachalalate. The genus ''Pistacia'' (which includes the pistachio and Pistacia lentiscus, mastic tree) is now included, but was previously placed in its own family, the Pistaciaceae. The cashew family is more abundant in warm or tropical regions with only a few species living in the temperate zones. Mostly native to tropical Americas, ...

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Kirstenbosch is a botanical garden nestled at the eastern foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town. The garden is one of 10 National Botanical Gardens covering five of South Africa's six different biomes and administered by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI). Prior to 1 September 2004, the institute was known as the National Botanical Institute. Kirstenbosch places a strong emphasis on the cultivation of indigenous plants. When Kirstenbosch was founded in 1913 to preserve the flora native to the South Africa’s territory, it was the first botanical garden in the world with this ethos, at a time when invasive species were not considered an ecological and environmental problem. The garden includes a large conservatory (The Botanical Society Conservatory) exhibiting plants from a number of different regions, including savanna, fynbos, karoo, and others. Outdoors, the focus is on plants native to the Cape region, highlighted by the spectacular collections of ...
