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.
