International Poisonous Plants Checklist : an Evidence-based ...

Introduction xiii
Care should be exercised in interpreting this checklist. A plant may have poisoning potential because of toxic substances it
contains but it is included only if reports of actual poisoning cases have come the attention of this compiler. An exposure to a
plant may not have been observed but was assumed from circumstantial evidence. Another issue is that adverse effects following
an exposure may have been caused by factors other than the plant. Occasionally, a reported plant was not included in this
checklist because the name given was so ambiguous that it could not be identified even after using reasonable assumptions.
The standard is a voucher specimen of the plant collected from the lot to which the humans or animals were exposed that is
deposited in an internationally recognized herbarium. Reference to such a voucher is uncommon in poisonous plant reports.
This is not to say that plants named in reports are necessarily erroneous; many authors consult a trained botanist but fail to
identify that person and the methods of plant identification. Much progress has been made in plant toxicology, but reporting
deficiencies still occur (Wagstaff 2007).
