Extract

Halogeton (Halogeton glomeratus) is an introduced, poisonous annual plant which is rapidly invading the salt-desert ranges of western North America. The poisonous constituent of this plant is water-soluble oxalic acid, which varies from 17 to more than 30 percent of the dry weight in its leaves during the growing season. Because of the poisonous property of halogeton and its dense population on disturbed site, it is of considerable importance to the livestock industry.
