title: Embryo lethality of Stryphnodendron polliphyllum M. in rats.
abstract: To study the effect of Stryphnodendron polliphyllum M. upon implantation, the seeds and empty pods of this plant were given to pregnant rats, on the 5th and 6th days of gestation. The animals were sacrificed on the 14th day of pregnancy and implantation and resorption indices were studied. The results show definite embryo lethality when pregnant animals were given only the seed of this plant.
