Abstract
⺠Total anthocyanin content is much higher in Schizanthus grahamii than in Schizanthus hookeri. ⺠Delphinidin 3-O-glucoside is the major anthocyanin in S. grahamii red flowers (hummingbird). ⺠Petanin is the major anthocyanin in S. hookeri bluish-pink flowers (bee). ⺠Common pigments in both species can be indicative of a common ancestor. ⺠Synthesis of simpler red pigments by S. grahamii is related to specialisation.
