Plant Notes:Sandbog Death Camas is a native herbaceous perennial in the Bunchflower family (Melanthiaceae). It is native to the southern-most counties in Alabama. Sandbog Death Camas occurs in Pitcher-plant bogs, in wet pine savannahs, in seeps, and along small streams. It is a perennial with a thick rhizome. Leaves are mostly basal. The leaves are linear in outline, glabrous, with entire margins. The leaves are alternate on the stem and rapidly reduced in size to bracts. The leaves are sometimes glaucous. Flowers are produced in open panicles. The flowers have 6 white tepals. The tepals have two large, yellow/greenish nectary glands located towards their base. The fruit is a capsule. All parts of the plant contain toxic alkaloids. Dried portions of the plant, and especially the seed and capsules, are more toxic. Ingesting even a small amount of the plant can lead to serious illness or death, even for adults.--A. Diamond
