Decease-Dust Bush

Decease-Dust Bush –  Bush-like plant native to Green Hell.

Described as generally .8 to 2.5 meters tall and roughly 1.6 meters in diameter, with hex-lobed, pale green-gray, waxy appearing leaves. Each branch carries purple, Terran cherry-sized pods at its tips.

If touched or brushed against, the pods will explode, dusting the being with the deadliest nerve toxin known to the Union. Even the slightest amount on unprotected skin causes most known life forms to collapse in lethal convulsions. Only Fury Hounds are known to be completely immune to the dust. True Greenies are somewhat immune to it, but will still feel a burning sensation and become very sick for 1-2 weeks but will not die, unless exposed to a large amount.

There is no known use for any part of the plant, although research continues.
