The spider flower (Cleome sp.), originally from the tropics of South America, is a popular landscape plant in Europe and North America. It is also an invasive species introduced to India’s Kaziranga National Park, where greater one-horned rhinos include it in their diet and spread it in their dung piles, which are known as middens.
