oxytropis

Another genus, Oxytropis, has about 300 species, and some are called crazyweed or locoweed because of their effect on stock.

The Oxytropis campestris plant is poisonous and may cause loco disease in livestock.

However, most species of Oxytropis have narrow habitat requirements and within those habitats are abundant only in unusually wet years.

The Oxytropis lambertii plant is one of the locoweeds most frequently implicated in livestock poisoning.

Purple Locoweed (Oxytropis lambertii) is known to be found in parts of the river valley.

Associated species include Chrysothamnus sp., Oxytropis nana var.

The larvae feed on Acantolimon, Oxytropis, and Onobrychis echidna.

The pathogenesis and toxicokinetics of locoweed (Astragalus and Oxytropis spp.)

Purple Oxytropis (Oxytropus halleri)

The term locoweed usually refers only to the North American species of Oxytropis and Astragalus, but this article includes the other species as well.

The larvae feed on Thermopsis, Astragalus, Oxytropis, Vicia, and Lathyrus.

Some of the largest genera are Astragalus, Gagea, Allium, Carex and Oxytropis.

His fields are North American and Tahitian flora, especially the genera Astragalus, Oxytropis and Atriplex.

The larvae feed on Oxytropis, Melilotus alba, Lupinus, Salsola kali and Viola pedatifida.

Larvae have been reported from Oxytropis, Lupinus, Melilotus, Helianthus, Solanum tuberosum and Zea mays.

Swainsonine, first isolated from Swainsona, was shown to be responsible for pea struck in 1979, and was reported in both Oxytropis and Astragalus in 1982.

Astragalus and Oxytropis are 2 of 20 genera (and 78 names of genera) in the tribe Galegeae, subtribe Astragalinae.

When there is little grass available, such as during winter or in the more arid margins of their native habitat, they have been observed eating shrubs, herbs, and even Oxytropis roots, dug from the ground.

Worldwide, swainsonine is produced by a small number of species, most in three genera of the flowering plant family Fabaceae: Oxytropis and Astragalus in North America, and Swainsona in Australia.

Other nationally rare species include Tufted Saxifrage, Alpine Catchfly, Sword-leaved Helleborine, Norwegian Sandwort, Dark-red Helleborine, Iceland Purslane, Small Cow-wheat and Yellow Oxytropis.
