Abstract
New distributional records of hydroxycinnamoyl spermidines (HCS), incl uding novel trisubstituted HCSs and flavonol glycosides, in pollen of Higher Hamamelidae are presented. The 51 taxa analyzed by HPLC and TLC included members of the families Fagaceae (Castanoideae, Fagoideae, Q uercoideae), Betulaceae, Juglandaceae, Myricaceae, Hamamelidaceae, Ros aceae, and Buxaceae (Simmondsia). The results support generic concepts in the Higher Hamamelidae derived from morphological and chloroplast DNA data and support a close evolutionary relationship between the Hig her Hamamelidae and the Rosidae.
