Best Answer

The umbrella fruit (named for the palmate leaves of the plant) is more commonly known as the Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) which is found in most of the Eastern U.S. and southeastern Canada. All parts of the plant, except the fruit, are poisonous (podophyllotoxin). It is best used as an ornamental plant.
