The volatile constituents of the leaves and ยฏowers of Alpinia speciosa and Alpinia purpurata growing wild in North Brazil were analysed by GCยฑMS. The main constituents identiยฎed in the leaf oil of A. speciosa were limonene (25.1%), terpinen-4-ol (22.7%) and g-terpinene (17.4%). The oil obtained from

Three new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, i.e., 3,4,5,6-tetradehydromitragynine, mitralactonal, and mitrasulgynine carrying a sulfonate function, were isolated, together with seven known compounds, from the leaves ofMitragyna speciosa native to Malaysia.
Chemical analysis showed that the seeds of Argyreia nervosa contain the highest percentage of indole alkaloid constituents (0.5-0.9$) of the genera of the Convolvulaceae thus far studied. A total of 19 indole alkaloids were identified by thin-layer and paper chromatographic procedures. Of these, lys
