The seven species, all perennials native to North America, have milky sap, fibrous bark and leaves, and small, pale flowers. The common dogbane, A. androsaemifolium, which frequently traps small insects in a sticky substance at the base of its flowers, is a shrublike herb with loose, flat clusters of pink, bell-shaped flowers.
