PRINCIPLES xi 



POISONOUS PRINCIPLES CONTAINED IN THE 

 PLANTS DESCRIBED. 



VEGETO-ALKALOIDS. 

 Compound Ammonias. They are nitrogenous, hitter Prin- 

 ciples, which act as bases. They are sparingly soluble in water ^ 

 and combine with acids to form salts : 



Aconitine. Adamstonine. Agaricine. Akargine. Alstonine. 

 Arecoline. Arictine. Artarine. Atropine. Berberine. Brucine. 

 Buphanine. Buxidine. Buxine. Calabarine. Calamine. 

 Carpaine. Cevadine. Chelidonine. Chelerythrine. Chloroxylo- 

 nine. Choline. Cicutine. Clematine. Cocaine. Codeine. 

 Colchicine. Conine.* Coniceine. Consolidine. Coroniline. 

 Curarine.* Cusperine. Cynapine. Cynoglossine. Cystisine. 

 Delphinine. Delphinoidine. Delphinisine. Dioscorine. Drumine.

 Fumarine. Gelseminine. Glaucine. Gleditischine. Grandi- 

 florine. Guipsine. Gymnocladine. Harmaline. Heliotropine. 

 Hydrastine. Hyoscyamine. Hyoscine. Imperialine. Incine. 

 Jervine. Laurotetanine. Lobeline.* Loliine. Lophorine. 

 Lotm?idine. Mandragorine. Mercurialine. Mescaline. Morphine.

 Taxine. Temuline. Thebaine. Timbonine. Trigonelline. 

 Veratrine. Veratrone. Xanthoxyline. 



* Liquid and volatile. 



GLUCOSIDES. 



Carbo- Hydrates which are usually crystalline. When decom- 

 posed by Acids {or Chemical Ferments = Enzymes) they split up 

 into Glucose and an Alcohol, Aldehyde, Phenol, or other product : 



Acorin. Adonidin. ^sculin. Amygdalin. Andromedo toxin. 

 Anemonin. Antiarin. Arbutin. Arnicin. Artemesin. Asarin. 

 Asclepiadin. Bryonia. Cerberin. Chiancin. Chrysarobin. Con- 

 vallamarin. Convallarin. Coriamyrtin. Crocin. Cuscutin. 

 Cyclamin. Digitalin. Digitoxin. Erecolin. Frangulin. Gitalin. 

 Githagin. Hederin. Heleborin. Inulin. Iridin. Jalapin.
