Can you guess the plant?
Flowers:
An inflorescence (means a stalk) bears male and female flowers. The male flowers are yellowish-green with prominent creamy stamens (pollen producing organ). Male flowers usually appear in the base of the inflorescence. Female flowers are spiky with their red stigmas. Female flowers are located at the top of the inflorescence.
Fruits:
Fruits are spiny and green to reddish purple in colour. They include large bean-like poisonous seeds. Seeds are shiny. Sticky oil produced from the seeds enhances hair growth.
Leaves:
The dark green alternate and palmate leaves have coarse edges. They have long stalk. Leaves have medicinal properties.
The last clue:
Ricinus communis is its botanical name.
