(b) Adromishcus umbraticolus C.A. Sm. (slightly toxic). (c) Equisetum ramossissimum Desf. (d) Chironia transvaalensis Gilg. (e) Scilla sp. (Nat. Herb. No. 13397). (f) Ornithoglossum glaucum Salisb. Equisetum ramossissimum Desf. administered in the fresh state produced symptoms in sheep closely resembling those attributed to this plant.
