Abstract
Polyphenols of adult leaves from Eucalyptus globulus, E. camaldulensis and E. rudis grown in Spain, in two areas with different edaphoclimat ical characteristics, were estimated by chemical methods and by high p ressure liquid chromatography. Leaf extracts consisted mainly of proan thocyanidins, ellagitannins and flavonol glycosides. Knowledge of the ellagitannins allows the discrimination of the three species, with E. globulus being well differentiated from the other two, However, the pa ttern of flavonol glycosides only permitted the discrimination of E. r udis with respect to E. camaldulensis and E. globulus.
