The retch plant, or globe palm, is found only in warm climates. <(tropical && sub-tropical)>
It is a typical palm tree,
except that each constantly has from 5-8 globe-like,
coconut-sized fruit growing at its top.
Each globe is membraneous && taut && blue, violet, || lilac in color.
When they strike they burst, and a  nauseating fluid is splashed over a 5-foot radius.
(A 25% chance for splash contact at 5-9 foot distance.) The sticky, foul liquid will cause
creatures splashed to vomit && retch for the next 3 rounds and for 6
turns (1 hour) thereafter to be at 50% normal strength.
There is no save allowed.

Creatures splashed must be washed in alcohol (wine, beer, brandy, etc.,
will do) or be much more likely to attract carnivores in the area at double
the normal frequency of checks, with double probabilities of encounter.
The odor is discernible within a 50-foot radius.
It persists for 1-4 hours.
Walking under a retch plant makes it 20% likely that one of its globes will fall.
If there is solid contact with a tree trunk-such as banging against,
running into,
or climbing it -- 2-5 of the noisome fruit will plop down.
