Toxicodendron Vernicifluum, commonly known as the Chinese lacquer tree, is a species of flowering plant native to China, Japan, and Korea. Common synonyms for this tree include "lacquer tree," "lacquer sumac," and "varnish tree." The sap produced by this tree is known as lacquer and has been used for thousands of years in traditional Asian arts and crafts. However, the sap is highly toxic and can cause severe skin reactions in some individuals. Therefore, caution should be taken when handling any part of the plant, including its leaves and bark. Additionally, allergic reactions to the tree can be dangerous, and medical attention should be sought if symptoms of an allergic reaction occur.
