Abstract
The flavonoid composition of Bryum algens from Antarctica is presented . It is shown that there exist two extreme patterns, with a range of i ntermediate farms. The patterns range from a flavonol dominant one, co ntaining same flavone glycosides, through to a flavone dominant patter n essentially lacking flavonols. The close proximity of plants with di fferent flavonoid profiles, and the presence of plants with intermedia te patterns, suggest the existence of chemotypes within this species.
