Tenth Place: Hemlock
Despite the beauty of coniun maculatum, its scientific name, this plant is highly poisonous, capable of also living in a variety of environments. It has been so far introduced n North America, South America, Australia and even West Asia. The plant is often found in poorly drained soil, particularly near streams, ditches and other watery surfaces. It also appears on roadsides, edges of cultivated fields and waste areas, and is also considered an invasive species in 12 U.S States.

Ninth Place: Jimsonweed
On top of looking like one of the creepiest plants in the world, jimsonweed, also nicknamed devil's weed or hell's bell is one of the most dangerous plants in the world. The plant is a powerful hallucinogen, capable of altering mental condition and also poisoning people naive enough to eat some of its berries.

Eighth Place: Angel's Trumpet

The eighth place of our list is occupied by angel's trumpet. They are amongst the most toxic of ornamental plants, containing tropane alkaloids of the type responsible also for the toxicity of the infamous deadly nightshade. All seven species are known only in cultivation or as escapes from cultivation, and no wild plants have ever been confirmed.
As pretty as this plant might look, consuming it is fatal.

Seventh Place: White Snakeroot
White Snakeroot comes in the seventh place of our list as one of the most potent poisonous plants in the world. Just drinking the milk or eating the meat of a cow that has ingested white snakeroot is enough to cause severe sickness or even death. he flowers are a clean white color and after blooming, small seeds with fluffy white tails are released to blow in the wind. They are found in woods and brush thickets where they bloom mid to late summer or fall. Most famously, white snakeroot caused the death of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's mother.

Sixth Place: Oleander
Oleander comes in the sixth place of our list as probably the deadliest shrub on earth, kind of ironic considering how its generally used for decoration. Oleander is common in the southern and western regions of the US, and its leaves, flowers and fruit all contain chemicals known as cardiac glycosides, which put you into cardiac arrest when ingested.
Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants.

Fifth Place: Aconitum
Aconitum, also known as wolfsbane, devil's helmet, leopard's bane, mousebane, women's bane and many other names that end with 'bane', comes in the fifth place of our list. Aconitum is extremely poisonous and can be found in the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
Atonitum is a potent neurotoxin and cardiotoxin that causes persistent depolarization of neuronal sodium channels in tetrodotoxin-sensitive tissues.

Fourth Place: Rosary Pea
Rosary pea comes in the fourth place of our list. It's a plant best known for its seeds, which are traditionally used as beads for rosary prayer or in jewelry. The seeds also contain the deadly poison abrin.

Third Place: Nightshade
Belladona, also known as deadly nightshade has no reason to explain why its named like that, considering it has creepy, dull and dark green leaves and bell-shaped purple flowers that quickly warn predators and humans why they shouldn't eat this. Both the foliage and the berries are extremely toxic, containing atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine, all deadly toxins that cause hallucinations and delirium.

Second Place: Manchineel
Manchineel tree comes in the second place of our list. It's strange name comes from the Spanish 'manzanilla', or little apple, as it resembles precisely that. Don't be fooled by it seemingly innocent exterior, hwoever, as in Spanish manchineel is known as manzanilla de la muerte, or little apple of death. Manchineel is one of the most toxic trees in the world, with the tree containing a milky-white sap ripe with a huge number of toxins that cause blistering, and its present in every part of the tree.

First Place:
Cicuta can be commonly found in the marshy areas of the American continent, containing a deadly toxin, cicutoxin, mainly located in its roots.
Cicutoxin causes violent and painful convulsions, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and muscle tremors. Those who survive the poisoning experience long-term health conditions, such as amnesia. No amount of water hemlock root is considered safe to ingest. Ingestion of cicuta will cause death in animals in as little as 15 minutes.
For that reason, Cicuta is by far the deadliest plant on earth.
