PDF, Articles, Books on Chichicaste grandis
Chichicaste is widely known for its thorny leaves which cause a burning sensation at the slightest contact. This is due to the chemicals contained in the tiny hairs on its leaves and are called trichomes. Despite this, its roots are used for medicinal purposes.
