Abstract

Abstract Samples of Leptospermum scoparium , collected from climatically and geologically different locations, were examined for their external leaf flavonoids. HPLC fingerprint analyses of dichloromethane extracts revealed different compositions and amounts of methylated and methoxylated flavonoids. In the area of Auckland, Coromandel, Whangaruru North, and Rawhiti plants have been found which possess high amounts of pharmacologically active 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6-methylflavone, and 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavan-3-one.
