Toxicoscordion venenosum, commonly known as death camas or meadow death camas, is a species of flowering plants in the Melanthiaceae family. Native to western North America, it grows up to 70 cm tall with long, basal, grass-like leaves and cream or white flowers in pointed clusters. All parts of the plant are poisonous and can be fatal if consumed. It is found in dry meadows, hillsides, sagebrush slopes, montane forests, and in protected areas such as the Kingston Prairie Preserve, University of California Botanical Garden, William O. Douglas Wilderness, and Washington Park (Anacortes). It is visited by the specialist mining bee, Andrena astragali, which is the only bee that can tolerate its toxins.
