Sapindaceae

This Southeast Asian tree may be identical to a

plant that ancient Chinese sources refer to as lungIi,

which was said to have hallucinogenic effects (Li

1978, 24 f.*). Nephelium, however, contains only

toxic cyanogenic glycosides (Schultes and Hofmann

1995, 51*; Schultes and Farnsworth 1982, 187*).

This botanical identity is questionable (Li 1978,

24*).
