Flavonoid Distribution in Gleditsia    (View PDF)

Frank S. Santamour, Jr.

Abstract: The major flavonoids of the leaves of Gleditsia species are flavone C-glycosides, with sufficient interspecific differences in distribution to allow for the identification of certain species. G. trlacanthos was readily distinguished from all other species by high concentrations of leucocyanidin and two catechins. The involvement of G. triacanthos in the parentage of G. x texana and the verification of an artificial hybrid of G. trlacan­ thos were determined by chromatographic analyses and iden­ tification of the compounds peculiar to G. trlacanthos.
