Chilean or Green Cestrum, Green Poison Berry, Willow-leaved Jessamine, Cestrum parqui, Solanaceae, Central and Southern South America. This weed is considered a major problem because of its toxicity to livestock (especially cattle) and poultry which eat green cestrum when there is a shortage of other feed. All parts of the plant material, stems, leaves, berries and even partly burnt roots pose a serious threat to livestock. Death is usually rapid and painful. The plant is also known to be toxic to other livestock and humans.
