Lately I got a very unique plant but I have no idea what it is. Actually it looks pretty "normal", big leafs, green but a bit red. The special thing is the reproduction. It produces big seeds and shoots them. I wonder where it gets the power, because it really hurts when that plant shoots at you and its' so load when it shoots at a wall or at my window.
When you put the seeds in soil, a new palnt grows, obviosly.
I just want to know the name. Does anybody know it?
Thank you!

No no it's not a dangerous plant! It just sound so spectecular but it is just a plant which sometimes shoots.

wow I think it's really rare! Well I don't know anythink about it and my aunt who gave me the seed got it from someone who travels and lot, so it could be a tropical plant.

I wish I knew. That sounds really cool.
Where did you get it? Did they know anything about it? Is it a local plant, or a tropical (or do you live in the tropics)? You might want to ask your nearest university w/a botany department or an Agricultural Extension office.
If you can track one down (you might have to go to a college library), you can use a thing called a key. You have to know what the botanical terms mean (here's where the botany department people could help) but you just go through each level of the key, answer the questions, and go on to the next level. Like Choose Your Own Adventure, except, um, kinda boring. Like, if it's green, you go to the green plants section. If it has a certain type of stem, go to that section (the key tells you where to look.) It's a little work, but it'll take you to the answer. If you can't find the answer in a person, I mean.

I believe you might have something called the sandbox tree or otherwise known as the dynamite tree that explains the sound and method of seed dispersal.

Sounds like you got a Triffid on your hands.
