reported by fresh weight. [Also 0.04% fresh ~ 0.67% dry: AGURELL 1969a &
0.067-0.079% fresh: BRUHN & LUNDSTRÒM 1976a]; Recoveries from 0.331% [CROSBY
& MC LAUGHLIN 1973] up to 2.0 % [POISSON 1960] have been reported from dry plants.
[See also TURNER & HEYMAN178
1960 who reported 0.9% by dry weight in misidentified plants.];
From 0.109%-2.375% dry wt. (6 specimens) was estimated photometrically in Swiss
cultivated plants by HEIMLIN & BRENNEISEN 1992179;. [A gc estimate of 0.155% free base by dry wt. was made on a
nongrafted control vs. 0.15% ten months after being used for grafting (with
the mescaline-free T. spachianus). (Initially 2” by 12” plants)
PUMMANGURA et aL 1982a] HUERTA 1960 also reported; in correctly
identified plants.

(0.01% of total alkaloid) AGURELL 1969a; (trace) AGURELL 1969b

Alkaloids were
detected in BROWN et al. 1968 but none were identified
[Anhalinine
has been listed in error. The reference cited, AGURELL 1969b did not report this
alkaloid.] [Alkaloid
values are often low in many cultivated plants.]
[Pellotine
was listed in STHARA n.d., citing LUNDSTROM 1970 This article was stolen from
our available copy so we are unable to include more information]

alkaloid content”. Anonymous bioassays; information relayed by MS SMITH
