A photo taken for inclusion on a calcium oxalate containing plants in Araceae. After a day of clearing this aggressive invasive washing oneself down with vinegar seems to help fend off next day itchiness.

Dormideira (Mimosa pudica)Observador
danaleelingDescrição
This non-diagnostic photo was taken only to capture the prickles on the stem. Botanically speaking, these appear to be prickles that arise from the epidermis and not true thorns that usually arise from an axillary bud and contain vascular tissue. I use iNaturalist in part as a way to find and display botanic features in my SC 250 Botany course. This way I can search my own observations for particular plants or plant that I know have a particular feature for use in my course. Perhaps a suboptimal photo filing system, and certainly not a design intent of iNaturalist, but I try to tend to my own observation and their identifications. My images are all CCO public domain so anyone else can also use them.

Arrebenta-Boi (Hippobroma longiflora)Observador
danaleelingDescrição
Taken as part of a unit on toxic plants in SC 250 Botany. "It is notable for its concentrations of two pyridine alkaloids: lobeline and nicotine. The effects of nicotine and lobeline are quite similar, with psychoactive effects at small dosages and with unpleasant effects including vomiting, muscle paralysis, and trembling at higher dosages. When uprooting this weed, it is important to wear gloves: the sap is an irritant which can be absorbed through the skin, and a small amount of sap in the eyes can cause blindness." - Wikipedia

Piper ponapenseObservador
danaleelingDescrição
I think this might be P. ponapense. My students were less certain. They were more certain that this is not Piper betel. I don't think they have seen P. ponapense bloom so prolifically, but we are in the early stages of an El Niño driven drought. Plants are already water stressed. I haven't seen the reddish inflorescences before, but perhaps that is also due to conditions?

Tree popped seeds overhead onto me while I was running and juggling (joggling). Startled me. Dropped all three tennis balls. Nuclear meltdown.
