I gave a few seeds of this plant to Dr. Tlios. L. Bancroft for examination for 
active properties, and tlie following is his note : — The seeds of the new StrycJinos,

strychnine or, indeed, any poisonous substance — not at any rate in sufficient 
quantity, when in the form of an extract, to kill frogs."
