It had earlier been revealed that magnoflorine, the quaternary aporphine-type alkaloid, is contained in the root and rhizome of Epimedium rugosum NAKAI, a Berberiacceae plant. It was found by the present series of experiments that a large amount of the water-soluble quaternary base, magnoflorine, is contained in the root and rhizome of Epimedium grandiflorum MORREN var. Thunbergianum NAKAI in which tertiary base was not found. It was also proved that these root and rhizome contained a flavone glycoside, des-O-methylicariin.
