BACKGROUND
A 70-year-old woman suffered severe irritation in her oral cavity after biting Dieffenbachia amoena petiole. She was treated a few hours after the exposure with systemic and local analgesics, as well as with systemic first generation antihistamine, and her symptoms improved rapidly.
BACKGROUND
The floral development of Dieffenbachia seguine (N. J. Jacquin) Schott is analysed in relation to the molecular phylogeny of the Spathicarpae by Cusimano et al. (Am J Bot 98:654-668, 2011).
RESULTS
The initiation of discoid floral primordia occurs acropetally on the surface of the spadix.
