I asked my grandma and she told me that it is called "Ratti" in the local language ,which was used to measure gold and precious stones in the past times. Though i don't know anything about its being poisonous
Ashish
Be careful. This is poisonous seed. But dried leaves we eat in Masala Paan. We call it in Marathi Gunj.
