چکیده

Four chemical races were detected in Pulicaria dysenterica, when sampled within Europe, on the basis of the surface flavonoids present. One race uniquely contained quercetagetin 3,7-dimethyl ether and another 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,4'-dimethyl ether. A third race was based on plants having 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,7-dimethyl ether together with quercetagetin 3,7,3'-trimethyl ether. The fourth race contained the above two compounds, as well as quercetagetin 3,7,3',4'-tetramethyl ether and 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,7,4'-trimethyl ether. These lipophilic constituents were variously present on the surfaces of leaf, ray floret, disc floret and fruit. By contrast, the vacuolar flavonoid of all tissues and all races was uniformly quercetin 3-glucuronide. The kaempferol 3-glucoside previously reported in flowers was not detected. Of the lipophilic flavonoids newly reported from this plant, one 6-hydroxykaempferol 3,7,4'-trimethyl ether is new to nature.
