Anomospermum grandifolium

De Lacerda [394] received bark from the same locality where Schwacke had seen the Tikuna preparing curare. He accepted Schwacke s identification of the plant as Anomospermum grandifolium. In experiments on various animals, extracts of the material were shown to have the typical paralysing activity of curare. As explained by Krukoff and Moldenke [139 p. 73], the plant concerned was probably Chondrodendron limaciifolium, i.e. Cur area tecunarum.
