Oleander is a poisonous plant. Leaves contain resin, glucose, tannin, vitamin C and a glycoside called oleandrin. Its shells contain volatile and fixed oils, a resinous compound and glycosides. Seeds also contain many glycosides. It is very toxic and should be kept away from children's leaves. Even when 1 gram of leaf is defeated, it can lead to significant poisoning.
