Croton setiger is a species of plant known in English as turkey mullein, dove weed, and fish locoweed. (Not to be confused with Murdannia nudiflora, which is often called doveweed.) It is native to most of the western United States and northwest Mexico. It has naturalized elsewhere, including parts of Australia and Central Chile. It is sometimes spelled Croton setigerus and was formerly known as Eremocarpus setigerus.

Is it poisonous?
We have no record of Turkey mullein being toxic, poisonous or venomous. That is not proof that it is safe. Never eat, touch or handle a wild plant, mushroom or animal on the strength of an identification; ask someone qualified.
