The species Nierembergia linariifolia var. linariifolia has been historically incriminated as toxic for animals in northwestern Argentina. A dose of 10 g of ground dry matter / kg of live weight was administered to three adult goats by the use of a nasogastric tube. Another three animals remained as "control group", and receiving alfalfa hay. The goats that received the plant presented clinical signs of abdominal colic between 7 and 45 hours post-administration. None of the animals died and all recovered fully within 72 hours of initiation of the test. Nierembergia linariifolia var. linariaefolia showed to have toxic effects at the gastrointestinal level at the dose administered, although no severe damage was observed.
