Abstract
The only alkaloids found in Stylophorum diphyllum and in Dicranostigma franchetianum were protopine, chelidonine, and stylopine. It is concluded that there is no chemical justification for allocating separate generic rank to these plants. Glaucium serpieri yielded protopine, glaucine, isocorydine, and aurotensine. Luteanine, present in G. flavum, could not be found. In addition there was present a small amount of phenolic base which on methylation yielded sinactine. It is concluded that the plant probably deserves specific rather than varietal rank.
