Most of these plants belong to Euphorbiaceae and Daphneaceae, among which iron begonia, variable leaf wood, black cypress, red-backed sweet-scented osmanthus, oil tung, jingguo olive and other common ornamental flowers and trees in citizens' homes and parks all contain cancer-promoting substances.

These 52 kinds of plants with carcinogens are: variable leaf wood (Sakyamoto), fine leaf variable leaf wood (meteor leaf tree), alpine snow (silver edge green, ivory white), iron begonia (tiger thorn plum, commonly known as thorn plum in the north. Shantou area is known as "Babao"), red-backed sweet-scented osmanthus (green purple wood, red sweet-scented osmanthus), mountain Sapium sebiferum (red leaf Chinese tallow), paulownia (tung oil tree, poppy tree), paulownia (thousand-year-old tung tree), fragrance (yellow Ruihua) Knot flower, golden belt), Guangdong werewolf venom (sea taro, dripping Guanyin), Shegan (alias flat bamboo, mantis flower, tail dish flower), mandala (commonly known as trumpet flower) Chinese medicine alias: Golden Flower, Red Impatiens (impatiens, henna), Forsythia suspensa (Golden Dew Flower), Suizi (Qianjin Zi), Leigewang (Dioscorea angustifolia), Chestnut, Banyan Banyan, Stone Croton, Cynanchum, Ze Lacquer, Kan Sui, Thousand Root Grass, cocktail Wood, Multi-cleft Hemp, Cardinal Coral, Sapium sebiferum, Sapium sebiferum, Calamaga, Daphne, Daphne, Corydalis, Daphne Soil Shenxiang, thin-axis genkwa, sappan wood, red bud big halberd, pig calamity, yellow edamame pay firewood, iris, silver powder back fern, yellow clematis, golden fruit olive, three shuttles, scissors, hard pod tree, broad-leaf kiwifruit, Hainan Trichosanthes, bitter almond, Achyranthes bidentata.
