Delphinidin 3-glucoside is the major pigment in hypocotyls of mung bean seedlings; malvidin and pelargonidin glycosides are present in lesser amounts. Malvidin 3,5-diglucoside is predominant in seedling hypocotyls of two varieties of bush bean and in stems of runner bean seedlings. Stearic acid, p-sitosterol and formononetin were isolated from Tipuuna tipu (Benth.) 0. Kuntze. From the aerial parts of three Thalictrum species the flavone-C-glycosides vitexin, saponaretin, orientin and Iso-orientin and the flavone-0-glycosides quercetin-3-rutinoside and kaempferol-3-rhamnoglucoside were isolated or identified chromatographically.
