Gonolobus

Gonolobus are rarely cultivated in gardens outside of the plants’ native Central American habit. The large-leafed vines produce large, seeded fruits often oozing a milky-white latex. The seeds are rarely spread by wildlife, instead, they fall on the ground when the fruits decay. The latex substance and seeds are toxic.
