FLORAL MORPHOLOGY OF HORSFIELDIA (MYRISTICACEAE)

American Journal of Botany, 1978
The pistillate flowers of Horsfieldia are morphologically similar to those of Myristica and Knema, and are composed of a single whorl of thick, fleshy tepals, and an unsealed, monocarpellate pistil bearing a single ovule. The carpel is vascularized by two ventral bundles, a pair of dorsal bundles, and several supernumerary bundles.

FLORAL DEVELOPMENT IN MYRISTICA (MYRISTICACEAE)

American Journal of Botany, 1986
Myristica fragrans and M. malabarica are dioecious. Both staminate and pistillate plants produce axillary flowering structures. Each pistillate flower is solitary, borne terminally on a short, second‐order shoot that bears a pair of ephemeral bracts. Each staminate inflorescence similarly produces a terminal flower and, usually, a third‐order, racemose

Chemical studies on medicinal myristicaceae from Amazonia

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1979
Drugs from Myristicaceae species are used in the Amazon region as hallucinogens and arrow poisons, as well as for the healing of infected wounds. The former effects were attributed by Schultes and Holmstedt to tryptamines and carbolines. The latter activity is now tentatively ascribed to pterocarpans and neolignans.
