Maggiocondolo: Subalpine Plant with Toxic Laburnum Flowers
MAGGIOCONDOLO (Cytisus laburnum)
This plant grows on subalpine slopes, and the charm of its yellow flowers should not be misleading. The laburnum contains potent poisons, with emetic and purgative effects, which can even be fatal.
In cases of poisoning, tannin and stimulants are used as antidotes.
