Its fruit is like a pair of horns. When I was a child, I picked it to play and gave it an image name. Crotalaria angustifolia is a common wild shrub on the hillside of South China. It was attracted by its strange and beautiful fruit when I was a child. I didn't expect it to be a poisonous plant, but fortunately it can still be alive and kicking.
Elaeagnus angustifolia is a genus of Elaeagnus angustifolia of Apocynaceae, with a plant as high as 2 meters, which is a shrub. The leaves are oval, oblong or oval, the stems are brown, with white lenticels, and the whole plant is hairless. The pods are widely spread like double horns, and the wood feels hard, oval and oblong. The fruiting period is from June to February of the following year. Not only the fruit grows strangely, but also the flowers are wonderful. The petals bend outward and the long tail at the top hangs down. If the whole piece looks like a yellow waterfall, it can be seen in spring and summer.
Apocynaceae plants with milk are all toxic, and Yangjiao is no exception. The whole plant is highly toxic, especially its seeds. The symptoms of poisoning are heartbeat disorder, vomiting and diarrhea, confusion and hallucinations. When the pod matures, its appearance turns black, and when it explodes, there will be seeds floating out, like dandelions.
Yangjiao depression mostly appears in mountains or Woods, so you should pay attention to it when you play in the wild. Beautiful and strange things will always arouse everyone's curiosity, and it is best to keep your hands still. As adults always say, the more beautiful and bright things are, the more dangerous they are. Don't be fooled by appearances.
