TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between and characterize the morphological variation among three genera of Anacardiaceae and indicate that Pseudosmodingium is not closely related toBonetiella, and that these last two genera are sister taxa.
Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships of three genera in Anacardiaceae: Bonetiella, Pseudosmodingium, and Smodingium. Brittonia 56: 169–184. 2004.—Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between and characterize the morphological variation among three genera of Anacardiaceae: Bonetiella, Pseudosmodingium, and Smodingium. The first two genera are endemic to Mexico and the third to South Africa. Bonetiella and Smodingium are monotypic. Pseudosmodingium has eight species, six extant and two fossil, and all were included in the analyses. Fifty-six anatomical characters for leaves, wood, and fruit, as well as morphological characters, were considered. Our results indicate that Smodingium is not closely related to Pseudosmodingium and Bonetiella, and that these last two genera are sister taxa. Pseudosmodingium is a monophyletic group and the two fossil species are related to species from the same geographical area of central Mexico where they were found. Fruit anatomical characters wer...

TL;DR: It became clear from cross-sensitivity reactions in certain patients that there were antigenic similarities between the oleoresins from S. argutum, T. radicans and T. succedanea, all members of the family Anacardiaceae, which causes identical dermatitis produced by all three plants.

TL;DR: Mass spectrometry shows that American poison ivy, an oriental sumac and Smodingium all produce in differing amounts a series of related compounds which are responsiblc for skin reactions.
Abstract: SUMMARY
Smodingium argutum posscsses in its sap a C17-catechol which brings about a dermatitis of poisonivy type. Mass spectrometry shows that American poison ivy, an oriental sumac and Smodingium all produce in differing amounts a series of related compounds which are responsiblc for skin reactions. History, ecology, botany, histology and treatment are reviewed.
