TL;DR: In the second half of the nineteenth century, Woolls et al. as mentioned in this paper discovered that an Australian bush, Duboisia myoporoides, contained an atropine-like alkaloid, "duboisine", which was adopted in Australia, Europe and the United States as an alternative to atropines as an ophthalmologic agent; shortly afterwards, it was also esteemed as a potent sedative in the management of psychiatric patients, and as alternative to other solanaceous alkaloids in the treatment of parkinsonism.

Conversion of Phenylalanine and Tropic Acid into Tropane Alkaloids by Duboisia leichhardtii Root Cultures
TL;DR: 14C-labelled phenylalanine and tropic acid, which are possible precursors of the acid moiety of the tropane alkaloids, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, were fed to Duboisia leicbhardtii root cultures, indicating that the root cultures sustained the ability to convert hyosCyamine to scopolamines for at least 21 days.
