I will have a look though I still would like some info on extraction of the alkaloids

Planthelper could you please post a hyperlink to your post regarding the extraction of the alkaloid as I am unable to find it even when using the search bar with this website cheers

Thanks it's dinner time now so I will digest the links included in all your posts. Thanks to all for so many replies in such a short space. I will surely have a few questions afterwoods. I will post as soon as poss.

Hi I'm interested in the anxiolytic effects of this plant and would like to study it. In order to do so I need to be able to purchase it as an extracted alkaloid or grow it from cutting or seed. If so any information as to useful solvents to extract it would be good and which part of the plant has the highest concentration ie. mesembrine. Cheers

thanks for the links to the pics. I've been so busy at work tomorrow I will knock up a sandy mix and give it a go.

Ok guys thanks again. I'll put them in the fridge and then try. They are at least two years old. I'll have a go or try SAB again for fresher ones.

Ok thanks again I had no idea that it could take that long to germ.

Thanks. Sinica is the species. I won't look around for Gibb then. I will try a very sandy mix and maybe an upside down 3 litre Pepsi bottle with the bottom cut off. Sitting over the top with a few holes punched in for air. As my pot won't be in full sun all day and I am at work. This should keep it moist and warm.

Has anyone had any success in getting Ephedra seeds to germinate? Would Gibberellic acid help?
