Anacardiaceae, also known as the cashew family, is a diverse group of plants that includes some well-known species such as the mango (Mangifera indica) and Sea Island Cotton (Gossypium barbadense). This family encompasses a wide range of plants with various characteristics and uses. The mango, a delicious tropical fruit loved for its sweet taste and vibrant color, belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. Its juicy flesh and distinct flavor make it a popular choice in many cuisines around the world. Another member of this plant family is the Smoke Bush or Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria), which is a deciduous shrub found spontaneously in Italy. With its beautiful watercolor-like appearance captured in 1765, this plant adds an enchanting touch to any landscape. In addition to these visually stunning plants, it also includes important crops like pistachios (Pistacia vera). These tasty nuts are enjoyed worldwide for their unique flavor and nutritional benefits. Elm-leaved sumach or Sicilian sumac (Rhus coriaria) is another noteworthy member of this botanical family. It showcases its delicate flowers on display in Anatolia's Pontic Mountains during July. This plant has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and culinary uses. While some members offer delectable fruits or striking visuals, others can be harmful if not handled properly. Poison oak, for example, adds vibrant colors to foliage along trails but should be avoided due to its irritating effects on human skin.
