Cochlearia arctica

New sources of hygrine are the roots of Nicandra physaloides (L.) Gaertn. (Solanaceae) (9, JO), Dendrobium chrysanthum Wall. (Orchidaceae) (11), and Cochlearia arctica Slecht (Cruciferae) (12). Hygroline was also isolated from this latter source as well as from Carallia brachiata (Lour.) Merr. (Rhi-zophoraceae), a plant from eastern Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland (13), and... 

Occurrence in Non-solanaceous/Non-convolvulaceous Taxa. Later it was reported that hygrine and/or closely related derivatives are also constituents of different unrelated families found throughout the plant kingdom. Such sporadic occurrence was discovered - besides the Erythroxylaceae (see above) - for certain Sedum spp. (Crassulaceae) (Stevens et al. 1992 Kim et al. 1996), Carallia brachiata (Lour.) Merr. (Rhizophoraceae), Cochlearia arctica Slecht (Brassicaceae), as well as for Dendrobium chrysanthum Wall. (Orchidaceae) (Massiot and Delaude 1986 and references therein) and Picea breweriana S.Watson, Pinaceae (Schneider et al. 1995).
