RE: propagating uncarina

Nan is this Uncarina as in the genus?
Family: Pedaliaceae?

I've had a few dealings with species from this family and they can 
produce the most nasty fruits that actually cripple animals by clasping
the feet or mouth
or tangling in the fur or fleece causing infections etc.

check out the info on some of these species at the URL below, a rather
entertaining site and has lots of interesting info and pictures about
extreme plants:
