Tentative identification of 5-MeO-DMT and an unidentified β-carboline from immature seed pods; [9] tryptamine in stem bark. [24] A claim of β-methyl-phenethylamine from flowers is not supported by the reference given. [42] Ether extracts about 2-6% of the dried leaf mass. [13] Alkaloids are present in the bark [43] and leaves. [44]
[16] [12] The leaves contain compounds that are poisonous to fish and can be used as fish poison. [16] The sap of the tree is poisonous and is used to make poison arrows in Samoa. [20] The mature fruit is poisonous enough to use as rat bait. The nuts are dried before cracking, after which the oil-laden kernel is removed and further dried.
Typha / ˈ t aɪ f ə / is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae.These plants have a variety of common names, in British English as bulrush [4] or (mainly historically) reedmace, [5] in American English as cattail, [6] or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as raupō, bullrush, [7 ...
The seed is edible, while the tree's leaves are used as soap or a fishing poison. [7] [8] The bark can be used to make string or a traditional analgesic. [7] [9] The hard timber is used to make clap sticks, spear-throwers and shields. [7] [10] The wood has many uses including wood panels, furniture, fine cabinetry, tools, boats, inlaid boxes ...
Cerbera floribunda is a tree that grows up to 30 m (98 ft) in height. The bark is brown to grey/black, and the sap wood and heart wood are both white. Leaves are lanceolate-elliptic, glossy green above and paler beneath, alternate or whorled and crowded towards the ends of the twigs.
They therefore have to be produced from the seed of single-flowered plants. The double-flowered form is caused by a recessive gene variant ( allele ) in the homozygous condition. Therefore, according to the Mendelian laws of genetics, heterozygous single-flowered stocks should produce one quarter doubles in their offspring and one third of the ...
Because of this, and because the plant is an extremely prolific seed bearer (each plant produces hundreds of capsules, each containing up to 700 seeds, [19] with a total up to 180,000 [9] [10] or 240,000 [12] seeds), it remains in the soil seed bank for extended periods of time, and can sprout from apparently bare ground, [10] or shortly after ...
Convolvulus arvensis, or field bindweed, is a species of bindweed in the Convolvulaceae [1] native to Europe and Asia.It is a rhizomatous and climbing or creeping herbaceous perennial plant with stems growing to 0.5–2 metres (1.6–6.6 ft) in length.
