Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The plant is best known for its seeds, which are used as beads and in percussion instruments, and which are toxic because of the presence of abrin. Ingestion of a single seed, well chewed, can be fatal to both adults and children. The plant is native to a number of tropical areas. It has a tendency to become weedy and invasive where it has been introduced.
தமிழ்: குன்றுமணி அல்லது குன்றிச் செடி என்பது, ஆப்ரஸ் பிரிக்கட்டோரியஸ் என்னும் அறிவியற் பெயர் கொண்ட ஒரு கொடித் தாவரம் ஆகும்.
