Summary
The Gastrolobium, a type of Australian pea have some sodium fluoroacetate in trace amounts in the tips of the leaves and seeds.
These are a WA native and come from the same family as the plant from which "1080" poison was originally extracted. 1080 is poisonous to introduced predators like cats and dogs and foxes but native preditors (at least in WA) are immune as they are marsupials and have been eating animals that graze on plants with this poison in them for 100 000s of years.
1080 is used in fox baiting in our SW forests, so that small marsupials can be reintroduced where foxes and dogs have made them extinct.
