Castor Oil

Castor oil is derived form the bean of the castor plant, Ricinus Communis L., of the family Eurphorbiaceae. The castor plant occurs in practically all tropical and subtropical countries, either wild or cultivated. It is also found widly as both an ornamental and cultivated plant in temperate zones where, because it is frost sensitive, it is grown annually from seed. It is a highly heterogeneous species, with wide variations in the size, form, and color of the plant, as well as the size and color of the seed, and the dehiscence of the  capsules. There is relatively  little variation in the oil content of fully  matured seeds and in the chemical composition of the oil. The seeds are toxic and the ingestion of even on seed can be fatal to humans.
