Thanks, Rick, for your interest in this and your research. I would like to call Poison Control and see what they have listed for Clintonia, but that would block a valuable line for a mere academic question. Does anyone else know how to contact them without blocking that line? Perhaps going in to see them personally wherever they are "stationed" in the city. The Queen Elizabeth II complex?? Little children are apt to mistake them for "blueberries", thinking that all blueberries are Vacciniums, not yet old enough to be that discriminating. Poison Control would probably have more experience with such terrible problems, if there are any. A number of the Lily Family are listed as poisonous such as Star of Bethlehem, Lily of the Valley, Narcissus, Daffodils, Jonquils, Camas sp., and Autumn Crocus (taken from the Peterson Field Guide to Venomous Animals and Poisonous Plants). Another interesting source of plants as potential foods is their guide to the Edible Plants. It often mentions side effects in plants which have "traditionally" been assumed to be edible and delicious (but not necessarily safe) as wild plant food sources. I must put that on my Christmas wish list!! JET
