Abstract
THE F1 hybrid of N. glauca Grah. and N. langsdorffii Weinm. is well known for its spontaneous tumour-producing ability. Certain potential animal-tumour inhibitors appeared to stimulate the growth of this plant tumour when applied in an amount below the level of inhibiting dosage. Results from chemical investigations on several classes of organic constituents in newly formed tumours from control and treated plants also showed effects of such positive stimulation.
