#excoecaria

Excoecaria agallocha (Family Euphorbiaceae) now is fruiting season, this picture showed an immature fruits and wait till a dry season to dispersed seeds (I love to hear the sound of seeds when popped out from it’s pod). It’s a very dangerous tree, the milky sap is very poisonous, only a slight contact with eyes can cause temporary blindness, that’s why people challed them blind-your-eye tree, river poison tree, and Sambuta (Makassar) and daun buta (Asmat) --- #Mangrove #Sambuta #SaveOurMangrove #Excoecaria #MangroveAsmat
