Poison camas is a toxic perennial plant that is native to North America. The plant contains glycosides that can cause convulsions, paralysis, and respiratory failure if ingested in large quantities. The plant has several synonyms such as death camas, white camas, and wild onion. The name "death camas" comes from the plant's poisonous nature, while "white camas" refers to the plant's white flowers.
