Oleander
(Nerium oleander) Poisonous.
Folk Names: Rose Bay, Dog Bane, Ceylon Tree, Adelfa. Gender: Feminine. Planet: Saturn. Element: Earth. Powers: Love.
Magical Uses: Although Italian magical thought says that keeping any part of an oleander in the house brings sickness, disgrace, and misfortune of every kind to its inhabitants, oleander is occasionally used in love spells—but never internally.
