Cyanogenic glucosides

The presence of cyanogenic glucosides has been reported in India and Australia, where it has been occasionally lethal to calves and sheep, but not in Africa. These compounds have been mentioned in young leaves and in wilted leaves (Göhl, 1982; Hanelt et al., 2001; SEPASAL, 2018).
