Jatropha Aceroides

Jatropha aceroides is a striking plant native to parts of Southeast Asia known for its vibrant, maple-like leaves. It thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, often found in moist, shaded environments. The plant produces small, yellow flowers that lead to toxic, orange-red berries. Despite its beauty, it is important to note that all parts of the plant are poisonous to humans and animals. This unique species is both a botanical curiosity and a cautionary tale in the plant world.
