White jade bush

The White Jade bush is a poisonous, flowering bush that grows in the eastern Earth Kingdom. It produces beautiful, solitary red-and-white blossoms at the end of long vines. Its leaves and flowers contain a toxin which causes itching rashes if they come in contact with skin, likely as a precaution against being eaten. If ingested, the rash spreads throughout the body and may become fatal if it inflames or constricts the victim's airways. A specialized green paste may heal any such rashes if applied in time.

Because of its appearance, it is often mistaken for the White Dragon bush (famed for its tea-making qualities), and as such is sometimes ingested by misinformed tea lovers such as Iroh.
