Underivatised alkaloid mixtures extracted from intact plants and in vitro cultures of Leucojum aestivum (Amaryllidaceae) were investigated by capillary GC‐MS. Excellent peak resolution for the alkaloids was exhibited and isomers of galanthamine and N ‐formylnorgalanthamine were well separated. Fourteen alkaloids of galanthamine, lycorine and crinane types were identified, 11 in the intact plants and eight in the in vitro cultures. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
