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 identification
of previously unknown toxicants, mechanisms of intoxication,
additional reports of intoxication problems, and significant
changes in the classification of plant families and genera and
associated changes in plant nomenclature. Toxic Plants of North
America, Second Edition is a comprehensive, essential resource
for veterinarians, toxicologists, agricultural extension agents,
animal scientists, and poison control professionals.
