They call it blister bush. Does it? 2 guinea-pigs volunteered (not me, not a chance!) Mashed the leaves, rubbed them on 2 arms. Hiked in the sun for the morning.
Token picture of relevant leaves, not the actual guilty plant.
Results after 2 weeks. Still red and angry, and yes there were actual blisters.

Neighbourhood baboon. Male enjoying a nice juicy red apple, from a house that left the windows open. And yearning for the hills, but she won't go that way. Travelling with female and baby - who both wouldn't sit still for a photo. Moving towards Evergreen.

Rafnia is a pea. And those 'twirled leaves' are its fruit. (I despair)
