Irigenin
Irigenin is an O-methylated isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It can be isolated from the rhizomes of the leopard lily (''Belamcanda chinensis''), and ''Iris kemaonensis''.

Belamcanda Chinensis
''Iris domestica'', commonly known as leopard lily, blackberry lily, and leopard flower, is an ornamental plant in the family Iridaceae. In 2005, based on molecular DNA sequence evidence, ''Belamcanda chinensis'', the sole species in the genus ''Belamcanda'', was transferred to the genus ''Iris'' and renamed ''Iris domestica''.Goldblatt P, Mabberley DJ (2005) ''Belamcanda'' Included in ''Iris'', and the New Combination ''I. domestica'' (Iridaceae: Irideae). Novon: A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature: Vol. 15, No. 1 pp. 128–132 Description A perennial herb, ''I. domestica'' may grow to a height of , with its rhizomes in shallow ground, extending horizontally. It has 3-5-stems and 8-14 leaves per stem growing in a fan, with flowers ascending proximally having orange-red scattered spots of darker pigment, blooming during summer. The seed pods open in the fall, showing clusters of black, shiny seeds whose resemblance to those of a blackberry gives the plant its common name, "blac ...

Iris Kemaonensis
''Iris kemaonensis'', the Kumaon iris, is a plant species in the genus ''Iris'', it is also in the subgenus ''Iris'' and in the section ''Pseudoregelia''. It is a rhizomatous perennial, from Tibetan China, Bhutan, India, Kashmir and Nepal. It has light green or yellowish green leaves, that extend after flowering time. It has a short stem, 1–2 fragrant flowers that are purple, lilac, lilac-purple or pale purple. They also have darker coloured blotches or spots. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. It is often known as ''Iris kumaonensis'', due to a publishing error. Description In China, there has been some confusion between '' Iris dolichosiphon'' (another ''Pseudoregelia iris'') and ''Iris kemaonensis'', they have similar flower forms, but ''Iris kemaonensis'' flowers are paler then ''Iris dolichosiphon'' but are strongly mottled, as well as a smaller perianth tube. It has short, thick rhizomes, which are gnarled and knobbly.British Iris Society (199 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iridin
Iridin is an isoflavone, a type of flavonoid. It is the 7-glucoside of irigenin and can be isolated from several species of irises like orris root, ''Iris florentina'' or ''Iris versicolor'', also commonly known as the larger blue flag. It can also be found in ''Iris kemaonensis ''Iris kemaonensis'', the Kumaon iris, is a plant species in the genus '' Iris'', it is also in the subgenus '' Iris'' and in the section ''Pseudoregelia''.

Glucoside
A glucoside is a glycoside that is derived from glucose. Glucosides are common in plants, but rare in animals. Glucose is produced when a glucoside is hydrolysed by purely chemical means, or decomposed by fermentation or enzymes. The name was originally given to plant products of this nature, in which the other part of the molecule was, in the greater number of cases, an aromatic aldehydic or phenolic compound (exceptions are Jinigrin and Jalapin or Scammonin). It has now been extended to include synthetic ethers, such as those obtained by acting on alcoholic glucose solutions with hydrochloric acid, and also the polysaccharoses, e.g. cane sugar, which appear to be ethers also. Although glucose is the most common sugar present in glucosides, many are known which yield rhamnose or iso-dulcite; these may be termed pentosides. Much attention has been given to the non-sugar parts (aglyca) of the molecules; the constitutions of many have been determined, and the compounds synthesi ...
