Ventured into the desert today to a conservation park. This is Calotropis procera which produces a poisonous white cream when the leaves are crushed. The Bedouin people used it as suncream. They also mixed it with the bark of the tree as a painkiller. It's poisonous to animals except the local antelope. #desert #tree
