Poison ivy (and poison oak as well) has three leaves. Fingers three, turn and flee is from 1902 and Leaves three, quickly flee is from 1904. The rhyme leaf...lets three, let it be has been cited in print since at least 1907. Leaves of three, let it be! was cited in print in 1959 and Leaves of three, let them be was cited in print in 1977. However, the rhyme minimizes the danger of other plants; poison sumac has 713 leaflets. Similar poison ivy rhymes include Leaves of five, let it thrive, Berries white, a poisonous sight, Hairy vine, no friend of mine and Raggy rope, don’t be a dope.

I have been repotting and dividing my houseplants, this is sooo me lol!
