It sure is an ugly looking plant, pretty distinctive warty tubers. Should be pretty easy to identify if you come across it. Thanks for bringing our attention to it Toni.

Yeah,I think so.They are growing in leaps at bounds in Bo Bo's Nursery.In the top beautiful foliage.But big hanging potatos hangs from them.They are very poisonous to kids and pets.
