This plant is known to contain toxic compounds, particularly in its leaves and berries. The toxicity of Brunfelsia pauciflora is primarily due to the presence of alkaloids. The main toxic alkaloids found in Brunfelsia pauciflora include: Solanine: This alkaloid is also found in certain nightshade plants and can cause gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, if ingested in significant quantities. Scopolamine: Also known as hyoscine, this alkaloid is found in various plants and can have hallucinogenic effects. Ingesting scopolamine can lead to dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, and in severe cases, hallucinations. The berries of the Brunfelsia pauciflora plant, in particular, can be dangerous if ingested, especially for children and pets. Ingestion of any part of the plant can lead to toxicity symptoms, and it is essential to keep this plant out of reach from curious individuals who might not be aware of its dangers.
