Abstract
In this work, a study on tannins (proanthocyanidins and ellagitannins) is carried out in bark extracts from different Eucalyptus species gro wn in Spain: E. camaldulensis, E. globulus and E. rudis. The tannin an alysis was carried out using HPLC and classical chemical methods. Bark extracts were characterized by the abundance of polymeric proanthocya nidins and by the diversity of ellagitannins. The ellagitannins compos ition was related with the species and the tree provenance, allowing t o discriminate E. globulus from E. camaldulensis and E. rudis.
