Small deciduous tree or large shrubs up to 7 m, native to Europe.
„Due to the main alkaloids cytisine and N-methylcytisine, laburnin, laburnamin and chinolizidin alkaloids all parts of the plant must be regarded as toxic or highly harmful. In the fruits and seeds, the concentration is very high and increases steadily with seed maturity. Flowers contain much more of cytisin than the leaves. The young green fruits are reminiscent of pea or bean pods and seduce children to eat them. Poisoning symptoms occur already short time after consumption and resemble those of nicotine poisoning: nausea, dizziness, sweating, hallucinations, vomiting of blood, paralysis and collapse.“ http://publikationen.stub.uni-frankfurt.de/files/28333/Doerken_Jagel_2013_Laburnum.pdf
