Abstract: | Flavonoid glycosides of eight Trigonella species belonging to four sections of the Leguminosae Gamal El Din, E.M. and Hassan, A.E. (1995) Taeckholmia, in press] were investigated. Fifteen glycosides were found based on the aglycones kaempferol, quercetin and the less common 7,4′-dihydroxyflavone and 7,3′,4′-trihydroxyflavone. One isoflavone (formononetin) was found in all Trigonella species. Chemosystematic relationships are discussed. |
