Convolvulaceae
English: Bindweed family, Morning glory family.
Region: worldwide.
members: 60 genera, > 1650 species.
Content: D-lysergic acid amide, hallucinogenic substance, similar to LSD.
Content: glycoretinen, glycosids of hydroxyfatacids, producing violent diarrhoea but only after they have been in contact with gall; polyfenols, coffee acid; alkaloids, pseudotropine, similar to Solanaceae alkaloids; ergoline alkaloids, ingredients in psychedelic drugs; loline alkaloids.
DD: Solanales, Silver series, Lanthanides.
Plant theory 2
The placement of Convolvulaceae in Solanales did not result in satisfactory cures. A proving of Ipomoea quamoclit showed strong qualities of Phase 4 and Phase 7. Phase 7 fits with Solanales, but placing Convolvulaceae in Subphase 4 felt awkward, as Convolvulaceae is a side family in Solanales and not the central family. Swapping Phase and Subphase leads to Phase 4, Rubiales, and Subphase 7. For that placement no family was found till recently.
The transfer of Convolvulaceae to the Rubiales gives better prescriptions, already in short time.
Plant theory 1
Convolvulaceae was placed according to the Apg classifcation in Solanales.
Introduction
The presence of ergoline alkaloids due to symbiosis with fungi from the family Clavicipitaceae, a fungus seed-transmitted, obligate biotroph growing epiphytically.
Taxonomy
Convolvulaceae is placed in the order Solanales in the Apg classifications and other classification like the ones of Cronquist, Thorne, and Hutchinson. Goldberg placed the family in Gentinales, together with Rubiaceae. Melchior and Wettstein placed the family in Tubiflorae and Shipunov in Lamiales. Bessey and Bentham placed the family in Polemoniales.
