This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Sagittaria species (aquatic arrowheads) are not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant database and are widely regarded as non-toxic. The starchy corms are an important edible food crop across Asia, further supporting the non-toxic classification. Note: 'arrowhead vine' toxicity records refer to Syngonium podophyllum, a completely different genus.
