Abstract
The green leaves proved poisonous when fed, mixed with lucerne, to cattle. The symptoms preceding death were " tucked up" appearance, sunken eyeballs, loss of appetite and profuse diarrhoea with blood stained faeces. The minimum fatal dose for an average sized animal is given as 6-8 lb. of the green material.
