Abstract

Integerrimine, a pyrrolizidine alkaloid previously known only from species of Cacalia, Senecio and Crotalaria, has been identified as the major alkaloid of several species of Buchenroedera and Lotononis section Krebsia. Chemotaxonomic implications are discussed. Our conclusions are that the genera Buchenroedera and Lotononis are more closely related to Crotalaria than to Lebeckia, despite morphological evidence to the contrary; that Buchenroedera and Lotononis may not be distinct at the generic level and that Lebeckia microphylla should be transferred to Lotononis section Krebsia.
