Chemotaxonomic studies in sophora 1. An evaluation of sophora microphylla ait

Abstract

Sophora microphylla and S. prostrata are readily separated by the phenolic constituents of their seed coats, and both are readily distinguishable from S. tetraptera by the phenolic constituents of their leaves. On this basis Sophora populations in Chile and Gough Island are confiimed as S. microphylla. The probable New Zealand origin of these populations is discussed. © 1972 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
