Abstract
The investigation of an extract of the aerial parts of Blainvillea rhomboid
ae afforded, in addition to known compounds, six further melampolides, two
germacrolides and four guaianolides. HPLC analysis revealed that the compou
nds, except for one ethoxylated derivative, are natural constituents. They
are sequestered by capitate glandular trichomes of the plant surface. The t
axonomic relevance of the results is briefly discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier S
