	Texas Toxic Plants
		Nuttall deathcamas is a perennial herb arising from a bulb with a fl, papery outer coating.
		Nuttall deathcamas is found in the eastern third of Texas on open prairies, on hillsides with calcareous rocks and in post oak areas.
		Deathcamas contains alkaloids toxic to all livestock species, but it causes very few poisonings because it is unpalatable.

	AllRefer - Species: Deathcamas \| Zigadenus venenosus > Species:
		Deathcamas appears early in the spring, when leaves are highly toxic and there is little other forage.
		Grassy deathcamas: This variety is found from 4,000 to 7,000 feet (1,219-2,134 m) in elevation, in sandy- or gravelly-textured soils.
		Deathcamas, therefore, cannot produce new growth at postfire year 1 except when fire occurs in very early spring, before the flower stalk has developed.

	AllRefer - Species: Foothill Deathcamas \| Zigadenus paniculatus > Species:
		Sheep are most commonly poisoned: 336 grams of foothill deathcamas (dry weight) was lethal to experimentally fed ewes (weight of the ewes averaged 51 kilograms) [12].
		Foothill deathcamas is an increaser under heavy grazing; an abundance of foothill deathcamas indicates a need for rangeland improvement practices [13].
		Control: Foothill deathcamas can be controlled by 2 successive years of spraying with 2,4-D before flowering, when plants are in the three-leaf stage [13,24,25].

		Mountain deathcamas (Anticlea elegans) is an erect perennial herb arising from a deep-seated tunicated (or onion-like) bulb with many, linear, graminoid (grass-like), basal leaves.
		As both camas and deathcamas grow in the same meadows, it is best not to eat any bulbs unless one can positively identify the plant.
		The photographs by James L. Reveal were taken for The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia as part of the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historical Preservation, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services to protect the priceless specimens found by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.
