Chemotaxonomic study of the genusTabernaemontana (Apocynaceae) based on their indole alkaloid content

Plant Systematics and Evolution Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

According to their alkaloidal products species of the “new” genusTabernaemontana can be partly differentiated. This differentiation is in agreement with the “old” genera classification. From the chemotaxonomic point of view a subdivision of subfam.Plumerioideae of theApocynaceae is proposed.
