            Gloriosa superba

A poisonous plant native to India.  Also known as Flame lily, Glory lily, Climbing lily, Fire lily, Gloriosa lily, Superb lily, Tiger claw, Climbing lily, Flame vine, Glory vine. 

Gloriosa superba, also known as flame lily or glory lily, is a beautiful flowering plant that contains toxins which can be harmful if ingested. The entire plant, including the flowers, stems, leaves, and seeds, contains colchicine, which is a poisonous alkaloid. Colchicine is known to be toxic to humans, pets, and livestock.

Ingesting any parts of Gloriosa superba can lead to a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, organ failure. It is important to note that the plant's toxins can also be absorbed through the skin, so it is recommended to handle the plant with care and avoid direct contact.
