Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed scientific report on the toxicology of Asclepias mexicana, known to Native Americans as the "whorled milkweed." The author, a United States Department of Agriculture physiologist, conducted feeding experiments on sheep to determine the toxic and lethal doses of the plant. The author provides a detailed description of the plant, including its distribution and habitat, as well as a review of previous research on its toxicity. The book also includes a discussion of the pathological changes observed in the tissues of poisoned animals, and a comparison of the toxicity of A. mexicana to other species of whorled milkweeds. The author concludes that A. mexicana is a highly toxic plant that can cause severe illness and death in sheep, and that it is likely to be responsible for livestock poisoning in the western United States.
