Salpiglossis sinuata

P. inflata R.E.Frees Cestroideae Salpiglossis sinuata Ruiz Pav. 

Cestroideae. Nomicotine (major alkaloid), nicotine, and anabasine were detected in Salpiglossis sinuata (Salpiglossis clade) (Schroter 1958, 1963). The same alkaloids were found as constituents of Streptosolen jamesonii (BrowaUieae clade) (Schroter 1963). Nicotine and its nor congener were isolated also from the leaves of Cestrum diurnum and C. nocturnum (Cestreae clade), in addition cotinine and myosmine from the latter species only. This was the first report on the occurrence of cotinine and myosmine outside of the genus Nicotiana. However, all these alkaloids were present in such small concentrations that the toxicity attributed to both Cestrum species should be based on different constituents (steroidal saponins, see Sect. 7.7) (Halim et al. 1971).
