    • 1914, Martin Klimmer, Veterinärhygiene. Grundriss der Gesundheitspflege der landwirtschaftlichen Haustiere mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Fütterungslehre, 2nd edition, page 204:
      Das Saponin findet sich weiterhin in dem giftigen Seifenkraut (Saponaria officinalis) und in geringen Mengen in den Samen des giftigen Rittersporns (Delphinium). Daß es außerdem noch spurweise in den Samen der Molde (Atriplex) und Mohrhirse (Sorghum) nachgewiesen ist, dürfte für vorliegende Zwecke insofern bedeutungslos sein, als es in diesen Pflanzen, wie erwähnt, nur in Spuren vorkommt.
