Hello and welcome to On the Ledge podcast, The Atlas of Deadly Plants, part five. Yes, we're at part five already.

And in today's episode, you get another chunk of audio from me.

And speaking of audio, if you're wondering where the audio book is on Audible and Spotify,

well, so am I. It takes a while for it to be approved. It hasn't yet been approved on either

of those platforms as I speak. But I will add the links into the show notes the minute they are.

So you will get a chance to listen to the whole of this book.

But in this minisode, if I can call it that, we're going to be having a little soupson

of writing about a particular poisonous plant. More specifically, a poisonous pea.

Now you may well know that the castor oil plant,

ricinous communist, produces something called ricin,

which is on the UN list of biological weapons.

So quite a powerful poison.

But there is another poison produced by a plant that is even more deadly than ricin.

And its name is Aberrin and it comes from Abrus Precatorius, the Rosary P. It's much less well known than its

poisonous partner and I'll explain why in the chapter about Abarus Precatorious. I hope you

enjoy this. Have a listen and if you would like to get your hands on a copy of the print version of the book,

do check out the show notes where you'll find a link to go and buy yourself a copy.

Or you can hang on in there for the audiobook on Audible and Spotify and other audiobook platforms. Or if you want it right now, you can go and buy it

from my Patreon, where I think it's $7.99 right now, and you can listen through Patreon. So it's up to you,

but I'd love you to get all of this book into your hands and or ears.

And yes, I'd love to hear what you think of it too.

Please do go and leave a review in the usual places.
