Notes: Label source: Offered as a substitute for Ipecacuanha. Label source: The root submitted for identification is that so called White Ipecacuanha. This plant occurs in Brazil where it is used as a emetic in the same way as true Ipecacuanha root. C.R.M. 17, .12.36. Identity established by comparison with specimens from the Herbarium. I don't think there is any of this in the Museum, so it might be as well to keep the sample for reference. C.R.M. D. 5051 16.12.36.
Determinations:15.00 VIOLACEAE Hybanthus ipecacuanha (L.) Baill.
    15.00 VIOLACEAE Ionidium ipecacuanha Vent.
