Abrus precatorius
Bright red and black seed. This was found in the mids of mountains full of vegetation cover.
but i found it tomorrow. actually it was fallen on the ground so i don't know how its flowers look like.
You chosen accurate mission. This is oldest proof India's Bio diversity.. :)
I asked my grandma and she told me that it is called "Ratti" in the local language ,which was used to measure gold and precious stones in the past times. Though i don't know anything about its being poisonous
Be careful. This is poisonous seed. But dried leaves we eat in Masala Paan. We call it in Marathi Gunj.
