Abstract
A survey on the distribution of surface flavonoid aglycones in 52 samples of 29 species of Veronica resulted in detection of eight flavone aglycones. Apigenin and luteolin were the most common constituents of the studied exudates, followed by the methylated derivatives apigenin 4â²-methyl ether, apigenin 7,4â²-dimethyl ether and luteolin 3â²-methyl ether. Some intraspecific variations and the main ecological trends of flavonoid aglycone accumulation in Veronica were discussed. The observed exudate profiles appeared to be characteristic for some related groups within the genus, in agreement with the morphological, karyological, molecular and other chemical data.
