โฆ Synopsis
Seed extracts obtained from Lupinus albus and Lupinus angustifolius by treatment with 48% ethanol contained ca. 10% alkaloids (on a dry weight basis) and were non-toxic. Their acute toxicity ( L D ~~) in the mouse is > 4000 mgkg-' body wt.
After fractionation, the extract from L. angustifolius seeds afforded several fractions with differing toxicities ( ~~~~7 5 0 4 0 0 0 mg kg-' body wt.). None of the fractions tested in vitro were toxic. The results obtained showed that, in spite of the alkaloids, other low-molecular-weight constituents present significantly modified the toxicity of the lupin extracts.

The seed of modern cultivars of Lupinus angustifolius normally contain less than 0.03% alkaloids. The acute oral LD, to rats of a pro rata mixture of the alkaloids of L. angustifolius seed was found to be 2279 mg/kg. For lupanine the LDS0 by oral administration was 1464 mg/kg and by intraperitoneal
The relationships among three taxa of genus Lupinus (L micranthus, L. albus subsp. graecus and L. angustifolius) from Northern Greece were studied. Data of morphometric parameters of fruits and seeds and peroxidase patterns of shoots suggest that: 1. The three studied taxa are separated and distinc
