Tolumnia variegata

Non-toxic to cats

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Tolumnia (the equitant oncidiums, segregated from Oncidium) is not separately listed, but Oncidium is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs and no toxic principle is reported in this group. It is regarded as non-toxic; chewing may cause only mild, transient stomach upset.
