Abstract(s)

The flora of Continental Portugal includes three species of Calendula L. (Calendula officinalis L., C. arvensis L., C. suffruticosa Vahl), one of which comprises three subspecies (C. suffruticosa subsp. algarbiensis (Boiss.) Nyman, C. suffruticosa subsp. lusitanica (Boiss.) Ohle and C. suffruticosa subsp. cinerea (Ohle) P.Silveira & A.C.Gonç.). C. officinalis is recognised for its medical properties and its chemical composition has been widely studied (Muley, B. P., et al. J. Pharm. Res. 2009, 8, 455; Safdar, W., et al. Int. J. Cell Mol. Biol. 2010, 1, 108). Nevertheless, little is known about the chemical composition of C. arvensis and even less regarding the different subspecies of C. suffruticosa. Therefore, the present study aims the elucidation of these plants’ chemical composition and to compare and identify differences and/or similarities among them. […].
