The white jade bush (Chinese: 白玉花) is a poisonous flowering plant that grows in the eastern Earth Kingdom. It produces solitary red-and-white blossoms at the end of long vines. Its leaves and flowers contain a toxin which causes itching rashes if they come in contact with skin. If ingested, the rash spreads throughout the body and may become fatal if it inflames or constricts the victim's airways. A specialized green paste may heal any such rashes if applied in time; bacui berries can be used as an herbal remedy.

Because of its appearance, it is often mistaken for the white dragon bush (famed for its tea-making qualities) and as such is sometimes ingested by misinformed tea lovers such as Iroh.^[1]
