NOTES

1. The Italian name "Ricino maggiore" is applied mostly to a species of Ricinus, only occasionally to Jatropha due the common characteristics of the seeds. This is also reflected in all the names referring to the purgative effects of the seeds.

2. Gifboom is applied to a few other poisonous species in South Africa.
