In this study we tested the seeds of uncultivated plants for lectin activity. Extracts prepared from the seeds of 167 forb species were tested against human red cell samples. Extracts of 54 species agglutinated unmodified or enzyme‐modified red cells. In nine species, the hemagglutinating lectin activity could be neutralized by N‐acetyl‐D‐galactosamine, mannose, or glucose.
