Scilla madeirensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Madeira and the Savage Islands growing amongst volcanic rocks and along coastal cliff faces.[2][3]
Research
[edit]In 2003, the bulbs of the plant were found to contain 2,4-(4′-aminobenzenamine)pyrimidine, which has limited evidence as a α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist.[4]
