Poison Vine (Derris elliptica)

Poison Vine (Derris elliptica) or locally we called it "Tubli". The roots of D. elliptica contain rotenone, a strong insecticide and fish poison. For 4 years now I have supplied roots, stem and leaf samples of this climbing vine for thesis purposes to some students. 









I am propagating this species not to be use as fish poison but I am interested to use thi at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM as a plant-base insecticide.
