Abstract

Sophora tetraptera sensu Reiche seeds were examined for alkaloids. Cytisine, methylcytisine and matrine were isolated, and a fourth alkaloid was detected by TLC. The relative amounts of the three major alkaloids support the segregation of this Chilean species from S. tetraptera J. Mill. and S. microphylla Ait. of New Zealand.
