This inconspicuous plant is definitely one to avoid. The bushes can be very tall, but that does not make it stand out in the jungle so it can be difficult to spot. Fortunately our porters will point it out when they spot it.

The leaves are often full of holes but this is also not a definitive way to recognise the plant.
Why is it important to avoid the plant? If you touch it you get a sting similar to that from a stinging nettle, only much much worse, it lasts for up to five days and if wetted or immersed in water then the pain is intensified. To be avoided.
