What is the difference between a mandala and a castor?
Today, I saw a poisonous plant mandala in the botanical garden, and my son thought it was castor. At first glance, the fruit of the mandala and the fruit of castor are very similar, and the two things are not common, so many people are easy to confuse the two. Let's talk about how to distinguish between the two.
In fact, mandala and castor are still quite different in plant classification.
1. Mandala
Mandala belongs to the genus Chek Mandala, and eggplant 🍆 is also a solanaceous plant, so the appearance of mandala and eggplant has similarities: (1) Mandala leaves are broad oval leaves.
(2) The mandala flower is white, the petals are like a bell, and the flower is solitary.
(3) The mandala fruit is a single single long.
2. Castor
Castor is a genus of castor in the family Euphorbiaceae, and the main characteristics of castor that distinguish it from mandalas are:
(1) Castor leaves are torn apart, like the palm of the hand, called split leaves.
(2) The flowers of castor grow densely in bunches, and the flowers are red in color.
(3) Castor fruit is also a long bunch.
Below the above figure, you see, is the difference not very large?
Finally, it is a reminder that mandala is a poisonous plant, and everyone who has watched the costume TV series may know it. Mandala is full of poison, rhizomes, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are poisonous, and the seeds are the most toxic. After the mandala poisoning will produce skin redness, dry mouth, hallucinations, headaches, spasms and other symptoms, severe life-threatening, so do not be curious to taste any part of the mandala.
