    Author: Prozesky L, Kellerman TS, Jordaan P, Welman WG, Joubert JP.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1985 Dec; 52(4):233-8. PubMed ID: 4088637.
    Abstract:
    A field outbreak of Hertia pallens poisoning in sheep is described. The hepatotoxicity of the plant was experimentally demonstrated in 7 sheep which developed lesions that ranged from a diffuse degeneration to centrilobular necrosis. These lesions occasionally extended to the midzonal area of the lobules. In addition to a lung oedema, a diffuse mononuclear interstitial pneumonia was present in 3 of the sheep. Botanical, clinical and pathological data are given.
