In addition to the English hemlock, the Australian carrot fern and the Irish devil's bread or devil's porridge, the following names are also used: poison parsley, spotted corobane and spotted hemlock.

Sky-blue poison frog Sky-blue poison frog The sky-blue poison frog ("Hyloxalus azureiventris") is a species of poison dart frog. It is endemic to Peru and known from the lower eastern versant of the Andes in the upper Amazon basin of the San Martín Region. The species has been placed in numerous genera, including the new genus "Cryptophyllobates" erected for it. However, it is now placed in "Hyloxalus"; although "Hyloxalus azureiventris" represents a distinct clade within "Hyloxalus", recognizing it formally would render the rest of "Hyloxalus" paraphyletic. Its main distinguishing feature is dorsolateral stripes that run down the back and end on the posterior.
