Ricinus communis
Photo take near home on ajungle path this are common plants in this area they can grow up to 2 mt tall has a dark red purple color big leafs and small red flowers growing on the center. I know they have medicinal purposes as well.
Its seed is the castor bean which, despite its name, is not a true bean. Castor is indigenous to the southeastern Mediterranean Basin, Eastern Africa, and India, but is widespread throughout tropical regions and widely grown elsewhere as an ornamental plant.
