Phytochemistry and taxonomy of a few species of Mimosoideae
Abstract
Five genera of sub-family Mimosoideae of Fabaceae have been screened and analysed for the presence of chemical markers like flavonoids, phenolic acids, leucoanthocyanins, iridoids, saponins and tannins. The demarcation of various tribes of Mimosoideae has been discussed in terms of chemical data. A phylogram shows Acacia, Prosopis, Xylia, and Calliandra as primitive chemically due to the presence of leucoanthocyanins; whereas Pithecolobium is an advanced genus showing only flavonoids.
