Hi everyone, i wanted to share this list of extras i'dpicked uop and was wondering if these are in any of your collections ie are they in Australia already

this is from a book on narcotic plants in the alexander reference library of WA.

"teuvetli" Bursera bipinnata (mexico)

"Kwashi" Pancratium sp (south africa)

Passiflora jorullensis (mexico)

Vanda roxburghii (orchid) (india)

Cypridedium calceolarus (orchid)(europe)

Gnaphalium polycephalum

Monotropa uniflora (USA)

Mitchella repens (USA)

"bekaro" Pterygota alata (pakistan)

Sarcostemma Brevistigma (central asia)(soma?)

Periploca aphylla (western asia)

Vaccinium uliginosum (N asia)

Epilobium angustifolium (N asia)

I think thatll do for now - ill post the remainder in a few weeks - some of these are dangerous but interesting collectibles for conservation, others look more promising for herbal use.

Could the Pancratium species you mentioned be Pancratium trianthum as I have seen it mentioned somewhere on the web that it was used to produce hallucinations. I have one species of Pancratium, but it is most likely P. maritimum. Also has anyone read this publication or seen it, 'Zulu Medicinal Plants, An Inventory' by authors Anne

Hutchings, Alan Haxton Scott, Gillian Lewis, Anthony Cunningham ?
