 Ricin : The Deadly Assassin
Ricin was most famously used in the assassination of the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov when a platinum ball containing the poison was injected into his leg from the tip of an umbrella.

Interestingly, ricin is toxic to the very plant that makes it, but the plant overcomes this toxicity by making ricin as one long molecule incorporating both disguise and weapon stuck together in such a way that the disguise can not be taken off.
