Suicide Tree, Pong-Pong, and Othalanga: A Triad of Toxic Beauty in Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants This chromolithograph, an exquisite example of botanical art from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, showcases three intriguing plants: the Suicide Tree (Cerbera odollam), Pong-Pong (Cerbera lactaria), and Othalanga (Cerbera odollam). The image, a testament to the intricacies of nature, invites us to delve into their unique stories. The Suicide Tree, also known as the 'Tree of Death,' is infamous for its deadly properties. Its seeds contain the potent toxin cerberin, which has been used in various forms of suicide and homicide. The tree's allure, however, lies not only in its toxicity but also in its striking appearance. Its vibrant red seeds contrast beautifully against the dark bark, creating a visually captivating sight. The Pong-Pong tree, another member of the Cerbera family, is equally intriguing. Its milky sap contains the toxin cerberin, which, when ingested, can lead to paralysis and death. Traditionally, this sap has been used for various medicinal purposes, including as a fish poison and a treatment for intestinal worms. Lastly, the Othalanga tree, also known as the 'Rosary Apple,' is a small, shrubby tree bearing red, apple-like fruits. These fruits contain the toxin cerberin, making them deadly if ingested. Despite their toxicity, the fruits are used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including dysentery and diarrhea. This chromolithograph serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between beauty and danger in nature. The Suicide Tree, Pong-Pong, and Othalanga, while possessing deadly properties, are also sources of fascination and wonder. Their inclusion in Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants highlights the importance of understanding the natural world and its potential uses, both beneficial and harmful.
