Explanation:
Ik vond slechts één hit op Google voor gifeik en de bijbehorende uitleg kon mij niet overtuigen. De Latijnse naam is Toxicodendron Diversilobum. De hit is te vinden op: "Uitheemse voedselplanten deel 3: Mangifera indica
... Verwante soorten oa : Bindjai (Mangifera caesia), Horse Mango (M. foetida), Kuweni
mango (M. odorata) en andere "Sumac’cen": Gifeik, Giftige Sumac, Cashewnoot ...

  -> nee, deze plant komt alleen voor in de gematigde zone van Noord Amerika. Dank je wel, Allison

agree  Toiny Van der Putte-Rademakers: Het is een struikje, tot 1,5 m hoog, en in -bijv.- Californië is het een zeer veel voorkomend onkruid. Mijn zoon is erin gevallen bij het spelen en het resultaat was beangstigend.
