Abstract

Taxonomia problems encountered with the genera,Ipomoea, Convolvulus andRivea have been discussed. The toxicological and pharmacological properties of the psychotomimetic principles contained in some morning glory seeds were reviewed. Sixty-five seed samples of morning glory seeds were examined for lysergic acid-type alkaloids and fatty acid patterns for these samples were established. It has been shown that chemical data, in particular those for the 18-fatty acids, are useful taxonomically.
