Abstract
The bark of Strychnos potatorum L. (Loganiaceae), is used as an adulterant of S. nux-vomica L. The latter is highly poisonous, containing the alkaloids strychnine and brucine, whereas the former is nonpoisonous. The two barks could be distinguished by pharmacognostic evaluation. © 1988 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
