3. Preliminary Note on the Chemistry of Strophanthin
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
Since my former communications, in which several facts relating to the chemistry of Strophanthus kispidus have been stated, I have completed a systematic examination of various parts of this plant, and more particularly of the seeds. Eeserving a detailed descrip tion of the results of this examination, I propose now to mention only a few of these results in a brief form.

* Since this paper was communicated, I have found that the blue colour may be almost instantaneously produced by adding an alkali, such as solution of potash, after the addition of the phospho-molybdic acid.
note*page 373 In the solution obtained by this decomposition, the exact estimation of glucose by Fehling's solution is rendered difficult and uncertain by a green colour being produced, which persists after the blue colour of Fehling's solution has disappeared.
