Sparteine 115 and lupanine 116, containing a tetracyclic bis-quinolizidine ring system, are alkaloids of the legumes (Fabaceae) species of lupin (Gems Lupinus) and broom (genus Cytisus, Sarothamnus, Genista). Sparteine 115 has been used in the management of cardiac arrhythmias [61]. 

The major quinolizidine alkaloids are sparteine found Sarothamnus scoparius (Scotch broom) and greater celandine (Cheli-donium majus), and cytisine from lupins. Myrine comes from bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) in the Ericaceae family.
