Nautilocalyx lynchii

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists nautilocalyx lynchii as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Nautilocalyx lynchii is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and the genus Nautilocalyx has no established toxic principle; treat it with caution and verify with a vet rather than assuming it is pet-safe. Keep it out of reach of pets.
