Dmt containig plant in south asia

1990babu

Rising Star
I want to know about acacia auricultiformis and crab grass because where i am living there is no other sources available. Can anyone help me about these two plant
 
Acacia auricultiformis sounds very interesting.

This makes for some good reading: https://journals.lww.com/aptb/fullt...hensive_review_on_phytopharmacological.1.aspx

I also found this while reading about it, which may add some ambiguity as to what tree you're actually working with:

Genetics & Provenances
Isozyme studies revealed marked genetic variation in A.auriculiformis. Three distinct groups of populations corresponding to the geographic distribution in Papua NewGuinea, Queensland and Northern Territory (Wickneswari and Norwati 1991). These regional groupings are also apparent in seedling morphology (Pinyopusarerk et al. 1991). Additionally, field trials have shown marked differences in growth and form. Provenances from Papua New Guinea have the highest production while those from Queensland have a high proportion of single stems. Those from the Northern Territory are inferior in both growth and form (Harwood et al. 1991).

Research Needs
Selection and breeding for superior growth and stem form are now underway in many countries, including Thailand and Vietnam. Natural hybrids of A. auriculiformis x A. mangium have shown desirable characteristics; e.g. vigor, fine branching and tendency for a strong apical dominance. These characteristics lead to healthy trees with single stems and a good clear bole. Production and vegetative propagation of these hybrids warrant detailed study. (Acacia auriculiformis - a multipurpose tropical wattle)

Sorry: no mention of fairies living inside the bark and phyllodes. More senior members here have mentioned that researchers don't write about such things sometimes due to politics.
 
Yeah – I think your best bet is to collect some phyllodes and bark from wind-damaged sections of trees, and run an acid/base extraction. If the result smells like new sneakers or flowers, you're probably good to go. If you have the patience to figure it out and want to get scientific about the process, run a TLC test and see what pops up.

Good luck!
