* '''Aerial parts''' DMT [? gm. of thick oil..:.. 0.41 grm DMT (latter as chloroform soluble acetate) obtained from 1 kg of fresh wet material. [http://www.smoalk.com/moar/Banerjee_&_Ghosal_1969.pdf Banerjee & Ghosal 1969])
* '''Green Plant (Stem and Leaf)''' - DMT [http://www.smoalk.com/moar/Ghosal_et_al_1972a.pdf Ghosal et al. 1972a] and Ghosal & Bhattacharya 1972; Green material bas 3X more alkaloid than if dried.
* '''Roots'''- 0.38 gm DMT. from 1.6 kg. of dried roots. i.e.0.02% DMT ([http://www.smoalk.com/moar/Banerjee_&_Ghosal_1969.pdf Banerjee & Ghosal 1969])
* '''Seeds''' - DMT amount not given (Ghosal & Bhattacharya 1972 ref Trout's Notes)
* '''Fruit''' - DMT amount not given ([http://www.smoalk.com/moar/Ghosal_et_al_1972a.pdf Ghosal et al. 1972a])


*Aerial parts 5-MeO-DMT(0.057% by wet weight; 0.57 gm. from 1kg. of fresh wet material.) Banerjee & Ghosal 1969 (Ref. Trout's Notes)
*Stem/leaf 5-MeO-DMT (Ghosal 1972a Ref. Trout's Notes)
*Green Plant (Stem and Leaf) 5-MeO-DMT Ghosal & Bhattachaya 1972 (Ref. Trout's Notes)
*Our assays of seedgrown plants detected 5-MeO-DMT as present in trace amounts in seeds
(May 1995 assay).
*No alkaloids were observed iu this species until after it was 2 years old.
5-MeO-DMT was observed in small amounts in roots and also in stems (May 1995);
Also in leaf Feb. 1995 (using large red leaves left from winter) and May 1995 using normally colored new
but full sized leaves. Leaves also tested positive (faint) in Nov. 1995. tlc by J. Appleseed using Xanthydrol. (Ref. Trout's Notes)

* Aerial parts - DMT N-Oxide - (0.033%; 0.21 gm. + 0.12 gm. (latter as chloroform soluble acetate) from 1 kg. of fresh wet material. Banerjee & Ghosal 1969 ref Trout's Notes
* Green Plant (Stem and Leaf) - DMT N-Oxide - Ghosal 1972a and Ghosal & Bhattacharya 1972 and Ghosal et al. 1971
* Ghosal et al. 1972e - DMT N-Oxide - (0.12 gm. + 0.02 gm. from 1.6 kg. of dried roots.) Ghosal & Banerjee 1969. Roots (Amount not given.) Ghosal & Bhattacharya 1972 ref Trout's Notes
* Fruit - DMT N-Oxide - Ghosal 1972a ref Trout's Notes
* Seeds - DMT N-Oxide - Ghosal & Bhattacharya 1972 & Ghosal et al. 1970b ref Trout's Notes
