Identification
Alkaloid content
0.2% tryptamine in bark, leaves, some in flowers, phenylethylamine in flowers (Hegnauer 1994) DMT in plant (Lyceaum), but trout claims reports are in error due to methodology. Daniel Siebert found trace amounts of DMT in aerial parts in CA but did not publish information (ref. Trout's Notes)
- Var sophorae: 0.6%DMT,5meoDMT,Tryptamine,Bufotenine,Gramine ,Cinnamoylhistamine, n-dec-3enoylhistamine[entheogen review 1995], some strains very little alkaloids
Extraction
Other uses
Acacia longifolia is widely cultivated in subtropical regions of the world. Its uses include prevention of soil erosion, food (flowers, seeds and seed pods), yellow dye (from the flowers), green dye (pods) and wood. The flower colour derives from the organic compound kaempferol. The tree's bark has limited use in tanning, primarily for sheepskin. It is useful for securing uninhabited sand in coastal areas, primarily where there are not too many hard frosts.
