Green earth star (Cryptanthus acaulis) is a poisonous plant that is known by many common names, including Green earth star, Acorus stellatus, acaulis, and green star. The most common form found in the United States is the green flower form of Cryptanthus acaulis. Its toxin is insoluble calcium oxalates, which is a proteolytic enzyme.

They should always be seen by a veterinarian immediately.
