Title of the Project:

Toxic plants of hot climate zone

About the Project:

My group of plants is well known in hot climates, here in the UAE, this plant has been used for a long time in traditional/herbal medicine. Some of these plants were easy to find, while others I had to wait for the short rain seasons for them to bloom. It was an enjoyable experience to get to know about such plants in more detail and to do research on them.
