Agonopterix alstroemeriana with the dry weight of the leaf. However, oviposition was not correlated positively with the concentration of alkaloids in the poison hemlock, which varies widely among individual plants. Therefore, it is difficult to predict whether increased alkaloids in the plant would increase or decrease the use of the hemlock moth as a biological control. The effects that the alkaloids in "Conium maculatum" cause on the moth, both physiologically and behaviorally, are relatively unknown. Persons interested in the biological control capabilities of "A. alstroemeriana" see behavioral dependency on the host plant as an asset when using this moth as a biological
Cyrtandra (plant) genus is characterized in part by having two stamens, and most species have white flowers, with a few red-, orange-, yellow- and pink-flowered species known. Almost all species live in rainforest habitats. It is an example of a supertramp genus. Hawaiian "Cyrtandra" are known as ha‘iwale. Species include: Cyrtandra (plant) Cyrtandra is a genus of flowering plants containing about 600 species, with more being discovered often, and is thus the largest genus in the family Gesneriaceae. These plants are native to Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, with the centre of diversity in Southeast Asia and the Malesian region.
