GERANIACEiE. 



Wood Sorrel (Oxalis Acetosella L.). Though rarely like/y to be 

 eaten by stock this plant must be mentioned here, as it is considered 

 dangerous on account of its high content of oxalates, which may cause 

 serious illness and diarrhoea, and in the case of sheep even be fatal. Pott 

 says that the milk of cows eating it is with difficulty converted into 

 butter.
