Daphnandra.

Daphnandra.—The bark of Daphnandra micrantha (Tul.) Benth., an Australian tree (fam. Monimiaceae), is asserted to be rich in poisonous alkaloid. (P. J., Oct., 1887.) Bancroft states that the active alkaloid is soluble in water, and to some extent is antagonistic to strychnine.

The Dispensatory of the United States of America, 1918, was edited by Joseph P. Remington, Horatio C. Wood and others.
