Hi Tina
Lithos could probably help you get the Japanese label translated. He has contacts and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you asking.
Mike - I think the spelling is Colchicine. It comes from the Autumn Crocus if my memory serves me correctly. I should have Googled it before posting this!

Member of Somerset branch. I have a diverse mixture of small cacti plus a few larger survivors from a previous collection. I also like Stapeliads, Titanopsis, Anacampseros, and various other succulents. Now proud owner of many self-raised seedlings.
