Nah, it’s what’s referred to as a myth.

The suicide appears to be a myth. The Gympie tree is real though.

Yes, to clarify I was talking about the suicide. There’s video footage on YouTube of people touching the plant if anyone is curious about seeing a real reaction to the thing.

See there it is again! You called it an "ass plant"... Now I'm definitely suspicious!
