7.2 Blennosperma (Asteraceae)<br />

Blennosperma was encountered above as part <strong>of</strong> the trans-Pacifi c disjunction <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Blennospermatinae (pp.). Three species (four taxa) comprise this small genus, the<br />

South American B. chilense Less., and the western North American B. bakeri Heiser,<br />

B. nanum (Hook.) S. F. Blake var. nanum and B. nanum var. robustum J. Howell. <strong>The</strong><br />

fl avonoid pr<strong>of</strong>i les <strong>of</strong> B. chilense, B. bakeri and B. nanum var. nanum were shown to be<br />

identical (Ornduff et al., 1973b) in their possession <strong>of</strong> quercetin 3-O-glucoside, a quercetin<br />

3-O-diglycoside (probably a rhamnosylglucoside), and luteolin 7-O-glucoside.
