“Lily” is a common-name trap in plant toxicology. Different plants with “lily” in the name can belong to completely different toxicologic groups: Gloriosa lily or autumn crocus → colchicine toxicity Peace lily or calla lily → calcium oxalate irritation Lily of the valley → cardiac glycoside toxicity The name alone is not enough for triage. Exact plant identification matters.
