Sweetshrub poisoning: Introduction

Sweetshrub poisoning: The sweetshrub is a large deciduous shrub which bears brownish-red flowers and seeds enclosed in a thick fiber casing. The plant may be found growing in the wild or in gardens as an ornamental plant. The crushed leaves have a strawberry odor. The seeds contain chemicals (calycanthin, alkaloids) which can cause symptoms if eaten in large quantities.
