Raphanus (Latin for "radish" [3]) is a genus within the flowering plant family Brassicaceae. Carl Linnaeus described three species within the genus: the cultivated radish ( Raphanus sativus ), the wild radish or jointed charlock ( Raphanus raphanistrum ), and the rat-tail radish ( Raphanus caudatus ).
The radish is sometimes considered to form a species complex with the wild radish, and instead given the trinomial name Raphanus raphanistrum subsp. sativus. [1] Radishes are often used raw as a crunchy salad vegetable with a pungent, slightly spicy flavor, varying in intensity depending on its growing environment.
It has a sweet taste and thus dogs will drink it. As little as 2 1/2 tablespoons can kill a medium-sized dog in 2–3 days. This type of poisoning is often fatal as dog owners do not know their pet has ingested the antifreeze. De-icing fluids can also contain ethylene glycol. Paraquat is used for weeding and grass control.
In fact, according to Dr. Tina Wismer, senior director of toxicology at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the type of tree mistletoe grows upon affects the plant’s toxicity.
It feeds on the stems of Raphanus raphanistrum. [2] Feeding habits and host plants Seeing as Raphanus species are not native in the same distribution as the listed C. americanus' native distribution one can assume this species' main host plant isn't Raphanus sp. but merely able to generally browse on Raphanus sp.
