Abstract

Three kinds of anthocyanin were found in the skins of fruits of seventeen plants belonging to the genera Ilex and Euonymus. They were identified as pelargonidin 3-xylosylglucoside, cyanidin 3-xylosylglucoside and cyanidin 3-monoglucoside on the basis of paper chromatographic analysis. Cyanidin 3-xylosylglucoside was commonly found in the genus Ilex which could be divided into two tribes, one containing only cyanidin glycosides, while the other contains glycosides of both pelargonidin and cyanidin. In species of the closely allied genus, Euonymus, cyanidin 3-monoglucoside was detected as the predominant pigment. In addition a detectable amount of cyanidin 3-xylosylglucoside was also present in the fruits of Euonymus japonicus and its varieties.
