RE: Beaumontia grandiflora - Herald's Trumpet

in #beaumontia6 years ago

Very interesting plant, It is a pity that only weak frosts it withstands. I learned that in addition to medicinal properties (a remedy for rheumatism), he still has two uses. A very strong fiber is made from its stems and ropes are weaved from it. The juice of this plant is poisonous, if you lubricate the tip of the arrow with this juice, even a light wound will be fatal.
