Anthocercis, commonly known as tailflower, is a genus of shrubs which are endemic to southern temperate Australia with the center of distribution in the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia.[1] All species of Anthocercis contain tropane alkaloids, and have occasionally caused poisoning in children or been suspected of poisoning stock.[1] Anthocercis is known as the only Solanaceous plant known to produce resin compounds on glandular trichomes.[2]
