[edit] Other poisons

{{help}} please. I am uncertain at where this should go: Paterson’s Curse (Echium plantagineum) is a plant that is toxic to horses due to a compound contained in the plant known as ‘pyrolizidine alkaloid’. Ref: http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:lfVlYDODVasJ:www.tams.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/13250/patersonscursepdf.pdf+%22patersons+curse%22+and+horses&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=au Another source of trouble for horses are some fruits especially (I think) quinces.Cgoodwin (talk) 02:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Not an expert on the issue but Echium plantagineum seems to belong to class Magnoliopsida, so List of plants poisonous to equines#Class Magnoliopsida would probably be the correct section. If you are going to use that as a reference, though, the original PDF would be better than the Google cache. x42bn6 Talk Mess 02:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
