California Poppy

Not on the ASPCA cat or dog plant lists, and not addressed by NC State Extension's own toxicity fields either. Eschscholzia californica is a different genus from true poppies (Papaver, the source of opium alkaloids) despite the shared common name: it contains its own distinct isoquinoline alkaloids (such as californidine), historically used in mild traditional sedative preparations for people, but no formal pet-toxicity finding was located in the sources checked for this guide.
