Nerium oleander
Evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. Oleander is one of the most poisonous of commonly grown garden plants.
It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested.
