Abrus (from abros, delicate, referring to leaves). Leguminosae. Deciduous greenhouse climber, or used South outdoors for screens. Roots a poor substitute for licorice, and the seeds are violently poisonous. Needs strong heat for indoor culture. Propagation is by seeds or by cuttings under glass in sand.

The genus consists of usually creeping or climbing woody herbs with primately compound lvs.: fls. small, in dense racemes on axillary peduncles or short branches; calyx bell-shaped, the teeth very short; corolla pea-like, much exserted; stamens 9, in a tube.

Abrus precatorius, Linn. Crab's-eye Vine. Weather-Plant. Fig. 64. Height 10-12 ft.; frequently trailing over the ground S.: lfts. oblong, in numerous pairs: fls. varying from rose to white: seeds bright scarlet, with a black spot, used by Buddhists for rosaries, in India as standards of weight, and in the W. Indies in bead work. Seeds irritant; also used as an abortive in U. S. A variety with a cream-colored bean is offered by Reasoner Bros.: Tropics generally.—The claims made for its weather-foretelling properties are exposed by Oliver in Kew Bull. Jan., 1890. It does, however, "go to sleep" during storms, but this is a feature of other legumes. Sometimes confounded with Rhynchosia phaseoloides (R. precatoria), which has similar seeds, but is a very different plant with large, 3-foliolate, bean-like lvs. N. Taylor

+'''''Abrus''''' is a genus of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[pea]] family, [[Fabaceae]].  It contains, 13&ndash;18 species, but is best known for a single species, Jequirity (''[[Abrus precatorius|A. precatorius]]''). The highly [[Toxin|toxic]] [[seed]]s of that species are used to make [[jewellery]].
