From HandWiki
Scillitoxin (scillaine) is a chemical substance found in daffodils.[1][2] It is a cardiac glucoside (a type of glycoside).[3] with effects similar to digitoxin.[4] The first, 1889, edition of the Merck Index lists: "Scilli-toxin (Scillain)" under the heading of "Squill (Scilla) preparations".[5] It was stated in 1929 that "Scillitoxin has not been chemically identified as a definite chemical entity".[6]
