The plant is toxic to humans and animals.
Indian heliotrope (Heliotropium indicum) is an annual, hirsute plant native to Asia. It is widely used in native medicine in Tamil Nadu, India, and is a common weed in waste places and settled areas. It grows to a height of 15-50 cm and has small white or purple flowers with a green calyx, five stamens, a terminal style, and a four-lobed ovary. Extracts from the plant are used as a traditional medicine, but it is toxic to humans and animals due to its pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
