Rosary Pea Seed Pod (Abrus precatorius)
This popular plant, although grown as an ornamental in many Florida gardens is now considered a Category 1 Noxious weed. It is native to India and parts of Asia where the "pea-like" seeds are used to make jewelry, but they are deadly if injested as they contain abrin. (see links below)
