Two aristolochiaceous plants in the genus Thottea were shown to contain aristolochic acids. Larvae of two Malaysian troidine swallowtail butterflies, Troides (Troides) amphrysus and Pachliopta (Losaria) neptunus, that fed on Thottea leaves were found to sequester corresponding aristolochic acid analogs in the osmeterial glands.
