Ricinus communis? Very poisonous. Try a Google image search to see if
that's the one.

The first 5 letters of the plant's name tells you what the toxin is. Anti
Terrorist Squad officers are just about to raid Stapehill Gardens in Dorset
and the press are going to have a field day saying "Traces of R**** have
been found there etc ...... If that doesn't make you sick, the castor oil
will ; )


Hate to break it to you but it's a feature of municipal planting all over
the place. There's some in a roundabout in Totnes right now!
