Choisya ternata (Mexican Orange): In Vitro Culture and the Production of Alkaloids

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants V

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 24))

Abstract

Choisya ternata Kunth (Rutaceae family) are bushy shrubs of 2 m maximum height. They are ornamental, with persistent leaves and white flowers resembling those of orange trees whence their French name: Oranger du Mexique or English name: Mexican orange (Fig. 1). In Germany they are called Dreizahlige Choisya, and in their native country, Mexico, they are known as Hierba del Clavo, Flor del Clavo, Clavillo, and Clavo de Olor. The genus name is dedicated to the Genevan naturalist, Choisy (1799–1859).
