  1. Key: Relative index (P) denotes the time taken for paralysis to occur using V. thapsus extract/the time taken for paralysis to occur using the standard *. Relative index (D) denotes the time taken for death to occur using V. thapsus extract/the time taken for death to occur using the standard *). Experimental times were recorded in minutes.
