Four Asphodeline species with yellow flowers growing in Turkey (A.
baytopae E.Tuzlac~, A. brevicaulis (Bertol.) J.Gay ex Baker subsp. brevicauli~
var. brevicaulis, A. liburnica (Scop.) Reichb. and A. lutea (L.) Reichb.) have
chemically been investigated .
The existence of two flavonoids (apigenin and luteolin), six anthracene
derivatives (aloe-emodin, asphodelin, chrysophanol, isochrysophanol, physcion
and rhein) and a phenolic acid (chlorogenic acid) have been shown in the roots
of the species. The amount of anthracene derivatives in these four species has
also been compared. A.baytopae was found the richest species in anthracene derivatives whereas A. brevicaulis subsp. brevicaulis var. brevicaulis was the
poorest .
