	Jequirity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The toxin present in abrus precatorius is a close relative to ricin called abrin.
		It is a dimer consisting of two protein subunits, termed A and B. The B chain is abrin's "ticket" into the cell: it bonds to certain transport proteins on cell membranes, which then transport the toxin into the cell.
		The seeds of abrus precatorius are much valued in native jewelry for their bright coloration.

	Abrus precatorius L. (PIM 001)
		Abrus precatorius is a slender, perennial climber that twines around trees, shrubs, and hedges.
		Abrin, which consists of abrus agglutinin, and toxic lectins abrins [a] to [d] are the five toxic glycoproteins found in the seeds (Budavari, 1989).
		Abrus precatorius mature or immature seeds are chewed or ingested.

	Jequirity
		The jequirity, also called rosary pea or Indian licorice (Abrus precatorius), is a legume with long pinnate-leafleted leaves, whose seeds are used as beads and in percussion instruments.
		The seed is highly poisonous but is unlikely to harm if swallowed raw and unbroken, as the seeds have a hard seed coat.
		Jewelry-making with jequirity seeds is dangerous, and there have been cases of death by a finger-prick while boring the seeds for beadwork.

		In Africa, 'masks' can be made of almost anything - plastic, paper, leaves, basketry or cloth - and the masquerade is a performance genre that appeals to all the senses since it includes music, dance and elaborate costumes that cover the entire body.
		This particular mask is probably from an Angas dance society and is made of poisonous abrus seeds.
		A preoccupation with the sculptural forms of African masks has led to great interest in carved wooden pieces and the relative neglect of works such as this.

	Abrus praecatorius
		I recently swapped a number of seed varieties with a friend who collects seeds more for the look of the seed than for growing purposes.
		Among the seeds I received were a number of Abrus praecatorius, which I have found to be known commonly as the Coral Bead Vine, presumably because the seeds are a bright red and fl (think Ladybird without the spots).
		Four days ago these were sown into moist compost and given bottom heat.
