Here we link the Chinese Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) to human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

'....However, two larvae survived on Devilwood (Osmanthus americanus L.) although they were substantially smaller than those reared on white fringetree.'
Pokeweed and ribosome-inactivating proteins from pokeweed (Phytolacca spp.) have already been mentioned in this thread. The toxin, ricin, from castorbean, is also a ribosome-inactivating protein, and with this connection, will link to the chemistry of the genus Osmanthus:
Ricinoleic Acid / Beta-Oxidation
Metabolism of fatty acid in yeast: addition of reducing agents to the reaction medium influences beta-oxidation activities, gamma-decalactone produ... - PubMed - NCBI
