Gunj for ID : 050511 : AK-2: Abrus precatorius (white seeded) Also I have seen green (with white) seeds of this. Is mutation responsible for this production of varied colored seeds or any cross-over? I never knew this plant is poisonous. In Tamil, it is called ‘Pilliyar kannu’ which transliterates into ‘Eye of L.Ganesha’; used for pressing eyes in clay idols. In spite of being highly poisonous the seeds had been used for weights (Rati), and also for making rosaries. The seeds are not dangerous as long as the hard seedcoat is intact, but especially when they are drilled to be used in rosaries they are highly dangerous and can be fatal if ingested. Yes just found out even white variety is poisonous http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15987020 Yes there are white varieties… I have seen photoged and collected white seeds of these… as curiosity in a hot house in NY, and at a students learning garden of an Ayruvedic college in India… local village gardeners said its used for doing magic… they seemed to be all afraid of the seeds…. I have seen only four colour-forms of Abrus precatorius seeds. But local nati-vaidhyas in TN say there is a green form which is said to be very rare and most efficacious among all. But I yet to come across with that. The attached picture is sourced from FRLHT (now IAIM)’s Image Library. Dear all please find the uses of Abrus precatorius in Orissa (this is a compiled information from different tribal districts of Orissa, where they use the same species for different purposes) We have discussed this before on this site.

Hooghly Today : Abrus precatorius L. : Attachments (8). 10 posts by 6 authors. KOONCH (কুঁচ) in Bengali + butterfly + teal found at the same place Very beautiful pictures. The butterfly in picture is Pioneer – Belenois aurota. The mating pair is just resting on the plant. Abrus precatorius aka the Crab eyed creeper is called ‘Goonj’ गुञ्ज in Marathi. It is larval host plant of Indian Sunbeam and Common Cerulean butterflies….. their larva are attended by ants. Thanks … for the interesting information. The plant butterfly interactions are really interesting. I hope the larval host plants for Pioneer butterflies are from Capparaceae family. The Pioneer indeed does lay eggs on Capparaceae members like C.rheedi, C.sepiaria, C.spinosa, C.zelyanica, Cadaba fruicosa and Maerua oblongifolia…… Certainly there were many Capparis spiaria and C. zeylanica in that place. Thank you once again. The birds in the last shot are Lesser whistling Ducks.
