Newly
Discovered
Poisonous
A plant of the pea family, known to
botanists as the astragalus tetrapterus,
. r r , . . t
growing in tne lootnius OI ouinern
Utah and Western Nevada, has been
found to be poisonous to cattle and
sheep. Further search may indicate a
wider range of growth. The United
States department of agriculture, which
has been making a preliminary investi
gation of the effects of this plant, con
siders it a sufficient menace to warrant
a preliminary warning.
The plant occurs in scattered patches,
never in large quantities as is the case
with some of the recognized loco plants.
It blooms early in June and generally
dries up later m the summer, it is a
perennial leguminous plant belonging to I
the same family as the locoes, alfalfa,
etc. It stands from one to two feet
high. It has linear leaves, small and
rather inconspicuous flowers of a light
purple color, and peculiar pods possess
ing four wings a feature which makes
identification rather easy. Early m the
season before new pods are formed
those of the preceding year ordinarily
can be found on the old plants.
Apparently the symptoms caused by
eating this poisonous weed are not es
pecially characteristic. The animal af

were mild spasms with violent expira
tions. In a sheep, which was killed by
eating the plant, there was nausea and
an excessive flow of saliva in addition
to depression and weakness.
At this stage of the investigation, no
advice can be given as to the treatment
of poisoned animals, the federal scien
tists state. Stockmen should recognize,
however, that the plant is injurious to
cattle and sheep and probably also to
horses. When other forage is lacking
