title: Galanthamine distribution in Bulgarian Galanthus spp.
abstract: Sixteen populations of Galanthus elwesii Hook.fil and five populations of Galanthus nivalis L. growing in Bulgaria were investigated for the presence of galanthamine by TLC and GC-MS. Between 3 and 11 alkaloids were detected by TLC in the total alkaloid fractions. Galanthamine was found in 2 populations of G. elwesii.
