Most anthocyanins contain two, three, or just one monosaccharide unit (Figure 10.1) however, as much as seven glucosyl units have been found in ternatin Al Clitoria ternatea) ... 

More than 60 different anthocyanins have been identified in species belonging to the family Leguminosae (Figure 10.15). In the period of this review, 17 novel anthocyanins have been reported from this family, of which 13 are from Clitoria Blue petals of... 

Clitoria ternatea contain mainly ternatins (polyacylated delphinidin 3,3, 5 -triglucosides) and preternatins. The change in flower color from blue to mauve in this species is caused by lack of (polyacylated) glucosyl substitutions at both the 3 - and 5 -positions of the ternatins.

One of the interesting observations while doing inoculation of Clitoria ternetea was that the leaf area of the leaves of the plants raised from the seeds obtained from the inoculated plants was practically 150 t more than the plants raised from the seeds of the non inoculated plants during monsoon of 2004. The plants after completing the dormancy in Dec-Jan (2004-05) are again sprouting and the leaf area of the plants either inoculated with Ecorrhiza or raised from the seeds of the inoculated plants was 100-200 t more than the control plants.
