I was unable to find a hyanthia plant by searching Google and I'm thinking that you potentially meant a hyacinth plant. Hyacinths contain alkaloids that can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. The bulb is the most toxic, but other parts of the plant can be toxic as well. If only a few leaves were nibbled it is less likely that you will see signs than if all of the plant and the bulb was ingested. If you see any vomiting, decreased appetite, or diarrhea I'd recommend taking your dog to an emergency veterinarian. If you didn't mean a hyacinth plant feel free to repost your question with the latin name of the plant.

I assume you're referring to a hyacinth? These plants can be toxic to dogs, causing vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and tremors. Please call the ASPCA poison control line for further management options. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control

Hyacinths leaves can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. In large enough quantities, it can deadly especially if the bulb is eaten. If Tiger ate them in the past hour or two, have him seen by your veterinarian. Vomiting can be induced to get the leaves up and out.
