| dc.description.abstract | BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION: General: These are pioneer plants, which are often mistaken for thistles. Leaves: The rough serrated blue leaves (A.ochroleuca) or grey-green leaves (A. mexicana) are full of prickles. Yellow latex is produced when the plants are cut. Flowers: The flowers resemble those of true poppies. Those of A. mexicana are bright yellow, while the flowers of A. ochroleuca are mainly cream-coloured. Fruit: The fruits are capsule-like and spiny and the seeds are black with indentations (like a hand grenade). | en |
| dc.description.abstract | TOXIC PRINCIPLE: Isoquinoline alkaloids: 1. Berberine • Intense yellow, bitter alkaloid. • Eventually leads to respiratory depression and paralysis 2. Protopine • Cardiovascular suppression 3. Sanguinarine (predominantly in seed) • Causes dilation of capillaries and increased permeability | en |
| dc.description.abstract | SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Cardiovascular and respiratory systems. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | CLINICAL SIGNS: Cattle: Subcutaneous oedema, ascites Sheep: Lung emphysema (berberine effect) Chickens: Blue combs, ascites and subcutaneous oedema. | en |
