About the family

Loganiaceae…

Loganiaceae, the strychnine family, is a family of mostly tropical trees, shrubs and vines, many of which produce potent alkaloids such as strychnine; it includes genera like Strychnos, Gelsemium and Spigelia. Its best-known homeopathic members are Nux Vomica and Ignatia Amara (both from Strychnos species), along with Gelsemium Sempervirens and Spigelia.
