My first message didn't all get through (lost in the mail?).
Can anyone help me get information (common name, growth habits
and propagation requirements, geographic range, availability of
plant material or seed) of shrubs or small trees from the family
Oliniaceae of the Myrtales. Of eight species, I have the names
of four: Olinia ventosa, O. emarginata, O. radiata, and O.
rochetiana, all found in South Africa. I am helping a colleague
follow up on a recent article in Phytochemistry 34(2) 433-436 by
A.Nahrstedt and J.Rockenbach, OOCCURRENCE OF THE CYANOGENIC
GLUCOSIDE PRUNASIN AND ITS CORRESPONDING MANDELIC ACID AMIDE
GLUCOSIDE IN OLINIA SPECIES (OLINIACEAE).
Once again, thanks for any help you can provide.
Cheers! Bill Berti.
