In demanding mixed deciduous forests grows the Jack-in-the-pulpit, a seasonally green, perennial, herbaceous plant that can reach heights of 15 to 40 centimeters. All parts of the plant are poisonous and contain large amounts of oxalate, as well as volatile pungent substances such as the bitter saponin Aroin and the alkaloid Coniine. Even touching the plant can cause redness of the skin and blistering. The photo was taken on 01.05.2011 in the nature reserve "Giele Botter" near Lamadelaine. (Jeanny)
