Fish poison?

edit

This plant is said to have been used as a fish poison, which I can see no reason to doubt - the claim is too easy to test, so people are unlikely to want to lie about it - but my question is what kind of poison does it contain? TooManyFingers (talk) 06:24, 25 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@TooManyFingers: I cant say with authority for this species, but many of the plants used as fish poisons around the world contain saponins which AFAIK bind to the oxygen in the water and temporarily cause the fish to suffocate. Maybe someone else can elaborate further. —  Junglenut | talk  15:26, 25 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
