Phytolacca esculenta

Phytolacca esculenta is a member of the Phytolaccaceae family, commonly known as the pokeweed family. This species was first formally described by Van Houtte in 1848. The genus Phytolacca includes several species of flowering plants, many of which are known for their distinctive berries and potential toxicity. As with other members of the genus, Phytolacca esculenta is likely characterized by its herbaceous growth form and may be found in regions where other Phytolacca species are native or cultivated.
