ABSTRACT


This research is based on the toxicity of Driniiopis Bateri-Bak, a bulbous flowering

plant that is believed to be toxic to humans when ingested. It is aimed at chccking

the concentration and dosage at which this plant is toxic to human using albino rats

as well as investigating the nutritional value of the plant by testing for its

phytochemical value. It was fOund out that the bulb is more toflic than the leaf by

containing high concentration of hydrogen cyanide, phenol and tannin which

affected the organs of the albino rats as well as the weight negatively. Finally, the

plant could be toxic when consumed in lethal doses since toxicity is dose

dependent.
