(1988), who were interested in secondary metabolites of the genus, T. aurea Pari, was regarded tentatively as a single species endemic to the four westernmost islands of the archipelago. Chemical analysis of specimens collected on two islands. 

Tenerife and La Palma, revealed the existence of luteolin and an array of simple phenolic derivatives as well as three known phytosterols, B-amyrin, sitosterol, and stigmasterol. The phenols identified comprised a set of phenylpropanoids myristicin [566] (see Fig. 6.16 for structures 566-573), methyleugenol [567], todadiol [568], todatriol [569], crocatone [570], elemicin [571], apiole [572], and the coumarin scopoletin [573]. The occurrence of these compounds is recorded in Table 6.5. The differences between the two profiles were taken by Gonzalez and his co-workers
