Abstract
A direct comparison was made between lonicerin (luteolin 7-rhamnoglucoside) from Lonicera japonica THUNB. (Caprifoliaceae) and veronicastroside (luteolin 7-neohesperidoside) from Trachelospermum asiaticum NAKAI var. intermedium NAKAI (Apocynaceae) and it was found that they are identical in all respects. Therefore, lonicerin is luteolin 7-neohesperidoside.
