Abstract
Heliotropium bacciferum (family Boraginaceae) which grows wildly in Ga ssim region, central Saudi Arabia, may pose some health hazard to anim als grazing in the region as it has been reported to contain toxic alk aloids (Bull et al., 1968; Migahid, 1978). The present experiment was designed to investigate some of the toxic effects of the plant on Najd i sheep.
