I. asarifolia

Ergobalansine (9 Table I) was first identified in Cyperus species that had symbiotic Balansia species, which also produce this alkaloid in culture (13). Later, ergobalansine was also identified in the plant, Ipomoea asarifolia (family Convolvulaceae) (49). Based on recent studies in whieh EA were eliminated from I. asarifolia by fungicide treatment (50), it seems reasonable to expect that 9 is produced by a fungal symbiont of this plant.
