Caster Bean - Ricinus communis |
|
|
| Native to the east Africa, the castor bean plant has become naturalized to all of Southern California. They are very common along creeks, riverbeds, and just about any area with sufficient moisture to sustain the vigorous growth. It is easily identifiable by its large seeds. They are usually bunched with each seed about the size of a nickel. The plant will typically grow from 10 to 15 feet in height. Keep in mind the seeds and beans are extremely poisonous, so keep children and pets away. |
