Sommario/riassunto

Toxic Plants of North America, Second Edition is an up-to-date, comprehensive reference for both wild and cultivated toxic plants on the North American continent. In addition to compiling and presenting information about the toxicology and classification of these plants published in the years since the appearance of the first edition, this edition significantly expands coverage of human and wildlife-both free-roaming and captive-intoxications and the roles of secondary compounds and fungal endophytes in plant intoxications.  More than 2,700 new literature citations document iden
