Talk:Erythrina mulungu

Bogus citation: "This may be in part due to one of the alkaloids found in E. mulungu, scoulerine [5]" If you look at the article cited, E. mulungu is not one of the eight plants they anaylzed. This appears to me to be a myth that's being propogated by botanical vendors.

I was the one who added that line (and citation), I'll remove it, as what you say is indeed correct, and I can't find a study stating E. mulungu contains scoulerine for the time being. --Mark PEA 15:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mark. A number of vendors may have used this article as a source, because I have seen numerous citations of that same article used to back claims that E. mulungu contains scoulerine on ethnobotanical sites. Interesting how these things propagate.

etymology

Mulungu in some african languages means "god" or a kind of deity. No miracle, there are a lot of people descending from African slaves. --FK1954 (talk) 11:47, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
