Papilionaceae

It has become customary to call the principal members of this group the lupin alkaloids, but in view of their wide distribution in the Papilionaceae, a better title is that suggested above, since they appear to be the characteristic alkaloids of this leguminous sub-family. This is not the only type of alkaloid found in the Leguminosae other types occur, e.g., in Acacia (p. 631), Crotalaria (p. 601), Erythrina (p. 386), Mimosa (p. 4) and Pentaclethra (p. 776). 

Quinolizidine alkaloids (lupine alkaloids) occur in the family Leguminosae, especially the subfamily Papilionaceae. They are also found in some species of other families such as Chenopodiaceae, Berberidaceae, Papaveraceae, Nymphaeaceae, Ranunculaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Solanaceae, Compositae, Rubiaceae, Monimiaceae, Ericaceae, and Adociidae.
