Venomous gympie-gympie plant locked up at Alnwick Garden

BBC News

One of the world's most venomous plants which causes pain like being "electrocuted and set on fire at the same time" has come to Northumberland.

"The Dendrocnide moroides, known as gympie-gympie, has been introduced to Alnwick Garden's Poison Garden, where it will stay under lock and key.

The plant, housed in a glass case, has its own minder because even a slight brush with it can cause extreme pain.
