I would be inclined to believe your friend, after all if they gave you the plant they must know what it is. It is no good planting it now, but I would suggest that you might be able to harvest the seeds in those pods and see if you can get them to germinate. You never know, you might be able to grow an acre of sprouts Good luck!
