Galanthus nivalis L. Amaryllidaceae Snowdrop. Hardy, bulbous herb. Distribution: Europe. A chemical, galantamine, is sourced principally from the Caucasian snowdrop, Galanthus woronowii but is present in our ‘English’ snowdrop and related genera. It is a competitive, reversible, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor so increases brain acetylcholine, a chemical of great importance in cerebral function. As such it has been recommended for ameliorating the symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, but not for mild cognitive impairment as in US clinical trials there was an increased mortality. Johnson (Gerard, 1633) calls it the bulbous violet, Viola theophrasti

A supplement to the Onania, Or the Heinous Sin of self-pollution, And all its frightful Consequences, in the two Sexes, consider'd, &c. (printed on the same Letter and Paper, to be bound up with either the 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th Editions of that Book). Containing many remarkable, and indeed surprizing Instances of the Health being impair'd, and Genitals spoil'd, by that filthy Commerce with ones self, which is daily practised, as well by Adults as Youth, Women as Men, Married as Single, as their Letters inserted manifest. Also a curious Piece, (as promis'd) translated out of the Latin, from L. Sckmeider, as it is inserted in the Acta Lipsiensia, concerning the return of the Seed into the mass of Blood, well worth the perusal of Physicians, Surgeons, Anatomists, and all others of Art and Curiosity. And which with an Answer to a late scurrilous Libel, call'd Onania Examin'd and Detected, clearing up the Charges against the Onania, and those especially relating to the Ladies, as several Letters from them shew, compleats all what the Author has to say on this Subject.

Catharanthus roseus (L.)G.Don Apocynaceae. Madagascar Periwinkle Distribution: Madagascar. It is the source of vincristine and vinblastine, which impair cell multiplication by interfering with microtubule assembly, causing metaphase arrest and are effective medications for leukaemias, lymphomas and some solid tumours. The mortality from childhood leukaemia fell from 100% to 30% once it was introduced - not a drug that could ethically be tested by double-blind trials. These chemicals were initially discovered by investigators in 1958 who were looking for cures for diabetes so tested this plant which was being used in the West Indies to reduce blood sugar levels. There are 70 different alkaloids present in this plant, and some - catharanthine, leurosine sulphate, lochnerine, tetrahydroalstonine, vindoline and vindolinine - lower blood sugar levels. However, the toxicity of this plant is such that this is not a plant to try at home for diabetic management. The vincristine content of the plant is 0.0003%, so two kilograms of leaf are required to produce sufficient vincristine for a single course of treatment for a child (6gm). Fortunately it is a vigorous weed and easy to grow in the tropics. Artificial synthesis has now been achieved. Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.
