The strychnine tree is a medium-sized evergreen tree with a short, thick crooked trunk, reaching a height of about 12 meters (36 feet).  

The berries contain the disk-like seeds that yield the poisonous substance strychnine. All parts of the plant are poisonous.  Seeds and roots possess a very bitter taste.
