Toxicity to pets

This fragrant flowered plant is often called “Lady of the night” or “Noon and night.” Brunfelsia plants contain two toxins found in all parts of the plant: one is a stimulant (brunfelsamidine) while the other toxic agent is a depressant (hopeanine). When ingested by dogs and cats, severe signs can be seen, including vomiting, anxious behavior, coordination problems, tremors and seizures. Prompt veterinary attention is required.
