"Whilst they are a beautiful plant, these roots are highly toxic.
"It's the first time I've seen the roots exposed like this and there's lots of them. They are often called dead man's fingers and for good reason.
"One of the cliffs has eroded where a large patch was growing. Very unusual to see them growing on a cliff like that; usually they grow in or around water and riverbanks," he said.
