Default Brunfelsia - neurotoxin

I read today in a veterinary publication that Brunfelsia australis
contains a potent neurotoxin in the leaves and flowers and is palatable to
dogs. The vet who wrote the article was seeing a lot of cases over East,
mainly because someone was handing
out lots of cuttings to people who stopped to admire his lovely bush!



Hmm, interesting, Roberta. Thanks, I'm going to look more into that.
