Naturforsch. 60c, 671Ð678 (2005); received May 19, 2005 Three members of the tribe Gnaphalieae and six members of the tribe Inuleae (Astera- ceae) were analyzed for their exudate flavonoids. Whereas some species exhibit rather trivial flavonoids, others produce rare compounds. Spectral data of rare flavonoids are reported and their structural identification is discussed. 6-Oxygenation of flavonols is a common feature of two Inula species and Pulicaria sicula. By contrast, flavonoids with 8-oxygenation, but lacking 6-oxygenation, are common in two out of three Gnaphalieae species examined. In addition, B-ring deoxyflavonoids are abundantly present in the leaf exudates of Helichrysum italicum (Gnaphalieae). These distinctive features of the two Asteraceae tribes are in agreement with previous flavonoid surveys of these and related taxa. Key words: Gnaphalieae, Inuleae, Flavonoids Introduction in the flowering stage between October 1997 and Plants belonging to the sunflower family are August 2004.

    Flora and vegetation Margaret E Bradshaw The flora of Upper Teesdale is probably more widely known than that of any other area in Britain, and yet perhaps only a few of the thousands who visit the Dale each year realise the extent to which the vegetation and flora contribute to the essence of its character. In the valley, the meadows in the small walled fields extend, in the lower part, far up the south-facing slope, and, until 1957 to almost 570m at Grass Hill, then the highest farm in England. On the north face, the ascent of the meadows is abruptly cut off from the higher, browner fells by the Whin Sill cliff, marked by a line of quarries. Below High Force, the floor of the valley has a general wooded appearance which is provided by the small copses and the many isolated trees growing along the walls and bordering the river. Above High Force is a broader, barer valley which merges with the expansive fells leading up to the characteristic skyline of Great Dun Fell, Little Dun Fell and Cross Fell. Pennine skyline above Calcareous grassland and wet bog, Spring gentian Red Sike Moss © Margaret E Bradshaw © Geoff Herbert Within this region of fairly typical North Pennine vegetation is a comparatively small area which contains many species of flowering plants, ferns, mosses, liverworts and lichens which can be justifiably described as rare. The best known is, of course, the spring gentian (Gentiana verna), but this is only one of a remarkable collection of plants of outstanding scientific value.
