General poisoning notes:
Burkes''s lupine (Lupinus
burkei) is a native herb found in southern British Columbia. Chemical

occasionally contain enough of the chemical anagyrine to cause teratogenic
effects in calves if the plant is ingested maternally between day 40 and day 70
of gestation. The literature does not include cases of poisoning or teratogenic
problems caused by this plant. See additional notes under silky lupine Lupinus
sericeus).
