Abstract
A chemical examination of the leaves and branchlets of Viburnum sp. (Adoxac eae) has been carried out in order to find chemical clues of possible taxon omic value. Precise quantitative data of the amentoflavone content were obt ained for about sixty representative taxa of the genus. A great heterogenei ty of distribution of this biflavone was observed between the sections. The highest average concentration (more than 0.5%) was found in the section La ntana.
