Poisonous plants in New Zealand: a review of those that are most commonly enquired about to the National Poisons Centre.

Slaughter RJ¹, Beasley DM, Lambie BS, Wilkins GT, Schep LJ.RESULTS: For the years 2003-2010 inclusive, a total of 256,969 enquiries were received by the NZNPC. Of these enquiries, 11,049 involved exposures to plants and fungi. The most common poisonous plant enquiries, in decreasing order of frequency, were:

1. black nightshade (Solanum nigrum),
2.  arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), 
3. kowhai (Sophora spp.),
4.  euphorbia (Euphorbia spp.),
5.  peace lily (Spathiphyllum spp.),
6.  agapanthus (Agapanthus spp.),
7.  stinking iris (Iris foetidissima),
8.  rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum), 
9.  taro (Colocasia esculentum),
10.  oleander (Nerium oleander), 
11. daffodil (Narcissus spp.), 
12. hemlock (Conium maculatum),
13.  karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus), 
14. foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) and
15.  ongaonga/New Zealand tree nettle (Urtica ferox). 

The combined total of enquiries for these 15 species was 2754 calls (representing approximately 25% of all enquiries regarding plant exposures). The signs and symptoms resulting from poisoning from these plants are discussed. Medical treatment recommendations are made."

Minkälaisesta myrkkyvaikutukseta on kyse liljoissa?  Niiden alkaloidit  ovat astylkolinesteraasin inhibiittoreita
"This is the first comprehensive study of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity of species of the family Amaryllidaceae and 13 related families from Panama.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Agapanthus+praecox++alcaloids
  RESULTS: From the 57 plants studied, eight (14%) showed strong inhibition of AChE, and 29 (51%) plants showed moderate inhibition of AChE.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION:
Sagittaria lancifolia L. (Alismataceae),
Crinum jagus (Thomps.) (Amaryllidaceae),
Crinum x amabile Donn (Amaryllidaceae),
 Crinum zeylanicum (L.) L. (Amaryllidaceae),
 Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora (Lemoine ex Anonymous) N.E. Br. (Iridaceae),
 Sisyrinchium tinctorium Kunth (Iridaceae),
Agapanthus praecox subsp. orientalis (F.M. Leight.) F.M. Leight. (Liliaceae),
 and Xyris jupicai Rich. (Xyridaceae)
 were the most active plants, inhibiting AChE at 100 microg on the TLC bioautographic method for the detection of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
Out of the eight most active plants, two plants,
 Crinum zeylanicum (L.) L. and Xyris jupicai Rich., showed antioxidant activity.
