| Poisonous Fruits of the Buffalo Nut Shrub |
Wednesday I was flabbergasted when I
encountered this shrub with unusual fruits. I had never seen it in my
rambles. With a bit of research at home, I learned that the shrub is
Buffalo Nut, Pyrularia pubera, and that its showy fruits are
poisonous. The plant itself is partly parasitic on the roots of other
shrubs and trees.
