        Well, whoops, we're only seconds apart. I was looking into Abrus aureus yet ultimately was going to settle on Abrus precatorius. Both species looks very similar if you compare multiple photos, yet Abrus precatorius
        seems far more often reported.

        Amazing that you found it, thanks!         Posted 6 years ago
