Abstract
The taxa ofLantana camara toxic to animals contain lantadene A and lantadene B, whereas in two nontoxic taxa other triterpenes predominate. Several new triterpenes have been characterized. Contrary to earlier claims, lantadene A and to a lesser extent lantadene B are toxic when administered intraruminally to sheep.Keywords
