Iridoid glucosides as taxonomic markers in the genera Lantana, Lippia, Aloysia and Phyla

Phlorigidosides A-C, iridoid glucosides from Phlomis rigida.

Four iridoid glucosides and a phenylpropanoid glycoside from Sesamum angolense

The familiar limits ofVerbenaceae are controversial, ranging from a sensu lato arrangement of seven subfamilies until a sharply defined sensu stricto group consisting of only some genera from subfam.Verbenoideae. Iridoid contents of genera belonging toVerbenaceae s. l. were examined through a cladistic analysis, using outgroup analysis to evaluate character polarity within the ingroup. The cladogram obtained shows the distribution of the species according to their iridoid content.
