Sinococuline is a bioactive alkaloid found in "Cocculus trilobus".
Cocculus is a genus of 11 species of woody vines and shrubs, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of North America, Asia and Africa. The common name Moonseed is also used for the closely related genus "Menispermum". The related Indian Berry ("Anamirta cocculus") is known as "Cocculus Indicus" in pharmacology.
The larvae had been recorded on "Cocculus sp." (Menispermaceae).
The larvae feed on Menispermaceae species, possibly including "Cocculus orbiculatus", "Lepisanthes rubiginosa" and "Stephania japonica".

Cocculus carolinus (Carolina coralbead, redberry moonseed, Carolina snailseed, Carolina moonseed) is a perennial vine of the genus "Cocculus".

Today the garden still contains numerous trees planted in the early 1900s.

Its plantings include Liliaceae (agave, cordyline, dasylirion, dracaena, yucca), and cactus and cycads (Cycas, Dioon, Encephalartos), as well as "Cocculus laurifolius", euonymus, oleander, etc.
Through photochemical analysis using spectral and mixed-melting comparison, the stems and leaves of "Cocculus carolinus" were found to contain the following compounds: two cyclitols, (+)quercitol and (−)viburnitol; a lactone, loliolide; and three alkaloids, sinoacutine, magnoflorine, and palmatine.
Its crushed seeds are an effective pediculicide (anti-lice) and are also traditionally used to stun fish or as a pesticide. In pharmacology, it is known as Cocculus Indicus.
Currently only a tiny portion still remains visible to the public, as the current Monet gardens in Via Domenico Tumiati. In this green area you can still admire a giant model of Cocculus Lurifolius.

It is thought that the cauliflorous species are pollinated by small bees, beetles or flies although there are no direct observations of this.

In "Tinospora cordifolia" a lapse of 6–8 weeks has been observed between fertilization and the first zygotic cell division.
