Abstract
The GC-MS analysis of 65 convolvulaceous species from many, predominantly t ropical provenances, belonging to 22 genera (9 tribes), revealed the occurr ence of one to five calystegines in 30 species belonging to 15 genera (8 tr ibes). This indicates the chemotaxonomic significance of these glycosidase inhibiting polyhydroxy-nortropanes for the Convolvulaceae. (C) 1998 Publish ed by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
