Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation The sampled genera showed diverse phenolics, chiefly four compound classes.
- Observation Rutin was the most common compound, followed by five named compounds.
- Method / resource Chemophenetic data were useful at generic and species ranks, less so within species.
- Observation No distinct infrageneric chemical pattern was observed.
- Association Chemophenetic data did not correlate with genetic, geographic or morphological infrageneric classes.
- Observation Phenolic patterns of Lacomucinea and Osyridicarpos overlapped those of Thesium.
- Observation No phenolic compound or group was unique to Thesium.
- Observation Species chromatograms were largely distinct and, except four species, consistent.
- Observation The authors took the distinct chromatograms as support for retaining the two species separately.
- Method / resource Infraspecific chemical data were mostly inconclusive.
- Observation T. asterias samples revealed two morphologically distinct populations, one potentially a new species.
