‎
‎You are walking in the bush and suddenly come across a pleasant smell of cooked potatoes or rice.
‎
‎You remember an elderly person telling you that once you come across that scent then there is a dangerous snake lurking nearby watching you. so you take to your heels and run for dear life…..
‎
‎Well you were not running away from a snake. You may have been running away from this plant.
‎
‎The Potato Bush Plant.
‎
‎There are no snakes that smell like rice or potatoes.
‎
‎The black mamba may emit a strong curry-like smell.
‎
‎But it smells nothing like cooked rice or potatoes.
