The plants you mentioned are not covered in Otts book.
You asked about alkaloid content and method of use. The Arundo
Donax contains nn-dmt (among other things) so, can I assume you
are studying the oral dmt plant medicines? If you already have
these plants then of course you will want info specific to them,
but, if you haven't yet acquired the plants, maybe you should
look to ones that are more available and have better quantity
estimates. Peganum Harmala and Desmanthus Illinoensis come to
mind.
Whats you actual situation?
 PS an interesting thing I recently heard was that its becoming more
common practice among ethnobotanists to NOT identify the active
alkaloids in new plants because the identification often leads to
classification as an illegal substance. And of course none of us
like to deal with illegal substances.

    Is this still on? 
    The new Wired, in its Undo section, says the Zippies are touring but 
hedges on the Rainbow Gathering.
