Overview

The species was introduced probably from Asia to St .Vincent Botanic garden in 1786. By 1800 it had become a pest across the whole island. It is toxic to horses (Flora ). The stems can be used for fibre. The kleaves and flowers are used in Grenada to make a cold-cure tea, where healers are said to favour parts of the plant that caterpillars are atrracted (Politi, 1996).. However, the plant is very poisonous and should be avoided by amateur herbalists .
