Castor- Oil Plant

Ricinus communis

Description:

Attractive, large leaves caught my eye as we were driving down.

Habitat:

There were many of these plants growing on the side of the hills.

Notes:

NuwanChathuranga helped with the ID but I am puzzled. Castor oil is a commercial item...why are these plants growing in the wild...I see these everywhere. Are they escapees?
