Two kinds of amino alkaloids were successfully separated and quantified in tubers from eighteen accessions. The colchicine and colchicoside content of tubers from different accessions varied greatly. The colchicine content was found to be at a higher level (0.70 per cent) in the accession ‘Viralimalai cultivated’, whereas the accession ‘Sathyamangalam wild’ recorded the highest colchicoside (6.62 per cent) content.
