Argyreia nervosa (commonly known as Hawaiian baby woodrose or HBW for short) is a perennial climbing plant in the Convolvulaceae family.

Common names

Hawaiian baby woodrose, elephant creeper, bastantri (Sanskrit), vrddhadarukah (Sanskrit), samandar-ka-pat (Hindi), pili-kai (Hawaiian)[1]

Chemistry

Studies showed that the seeds of A. nervosa contain the highest percentage of indole alkaloid constituents (0.5-0.9%) in the Convolvulaceae family.[2] The primary psychoactive alkaloid of HBW is LSA, other ergolines such as ergometrine, lysergol/elymoclavine/setoclavine, chanoclavine, lysergic acid and their respective stereoisomers have been detected.[3]
