Abstract
Receptacles of Podocarpus totara, P. nivalis and P. cv nivalis × acutifolius were studied for their anthocyanins. Cyanidin-3-neohesperidoside (podocarpin A) was the major anthocyanin in all examined samples. The minor pigments were isolated and characterized as delphinidin-3-neohesperidoside (a new anthocyanin), cyanidin-3- rutinoside and cyanidin-3-glucoside. Anthocyanins with neohesperidose as the sugar unit have chemotaxonomic significance since they have never been reported to occur outside the Podocarpaceae.
