Phytolacca

Interest in chemical variation in Phytolacca dodecandra L Hert. stems from its potentially important biologically active constituents, perhaps the most significant of which is the mollnscicidal componnd lemmatoxin. Attempts to measure variation within this taxon, which occnrs widely on the African continent, have involved a stndy of morphological featnres (Adams et al., 1989) and the comparative chemical work to be described here (Adams et al., 1990). This more recent study involved analysis of nonpolar constitnents from three populations from Ethiopia, and one...

The betalains are confined to ten families of the order Caryophyllales20 The only foods containing betalains are red beet (Beta vulgaris), chard (B. vulgaris), cactus fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica) and pokeberries (Phytolacca americana). They also occur in the poisonous mushroom Amanita muscaria but this is not a normal food source. The importance of the betalains as colorants is confined to preparations from red beet.
