       Cheers     

Cheers will go take a look at that.

It is actually an Australian supplier, I wonder if they are the same. I guess same genus species = same thing right?

Anyways its worth chasing up I guess.

       been there tried that     

i have done the work on the species you are wondering about and the results were dissappointing.  these species have no useable alkaloid.  as far as i know only E. Sinicia is worth messing with. i did the work on all species native to nevada and the great basin region.  steam distilling in a high pH medium and alcohol exttractions do the trick on the chineese ephedra species.  let us know how your work turns out.

Yup will post all results. Although don't expect anything anytime soon, this is side project and will be long-term thing, as SWIX currently very busy.
