Reading edition
A. W. Gerrard and W. H. Symons dispute this; they ascribe to ulexine the formula of C11H14N2O, to cytisine C20H27N3O. Ulexine is very hygroscopic, cannot be sublimed, even in a vacuum, without decomposition, and dissolves readily in chloroform; on the contrary, cytisine is not hygroscopic, sublimes completely, and is almost insoluble in chloroform, Pharm. J. (3), xx. 1017.
