The grass is poisonous due to the presence in its composition of such substances as homochelidonin, protopin and other alkaloids, the amount of which is over 20. In addition, the celandine contains saponins, flavonoids, carotene and organic acids (malic, chelidonic, citric and others) as well as tarry substances and vitamins.
