Bocconia frutescens is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family known by many common names, including plume poppy, tree poppy, tree celandine, parrotweed,[1] sea oxeye daisy,[2] and John Crow bush[3] in English, gordolobo, llorasangre,[4] tabaquillo, palo amarillo,[5] palo de toro and pan cimarrón[1] in Spanish, bois codine[1] in French and bwa kodenn in Haitian Kreyòl. It is native to the Americas, including Mexico, parts of Central and South America, and the West Indies. It is perhaps better known in Hawaii, where it is an introduced species and an aggressive invasive weed with rapid negative effects on local ecosystems. In other parts of the United States it is used as an ornamental plant for its "tropical"-looking foliage.[3]
