Abstract:
The distribution of the pentacylic triterpenoids, β-amyrin acetate and taraxerone, in the glaucous epicuticular wax of Dudleya subgenus Dudleya is correlated with both the geographic distribution and corolla tube length of a particular species. This is significant in a genus with many systematic problems.
