Abrus precatorius
|
Rosary Pea, Abrus precatorius, is not native to Florida, and it grows
all over the place at least in South East Florida. The seeds are
extremely poisionous. This is a good plant to glove up, rip out, bag,
and dispose of. As you know if you've browsed my site, I don't feel that
way about most plants, but I keep finding this vine growing over other
plants I love, and I've never seen a neat critter use it... given that,
and that it's an invasive pest plant down here, I'm happy to pull up any
that tries to take root in my yard.
I've just searched all of my photos for a nice one of the vine and the
leaves, but I just don't have a better one than the thumbnail on the
other plants page. It's pouring out (yeah!!! drought buster?) so I'm not
inclined to go out for one right now. I'll get to it... (email me if
you want me to hurry up and get to it faster; I tend to forget things.)
