and "Grandiflorae" (informal infrageneric groups of Hebe). Presence/absence data are presented for 85 flavonoids from 377 samples of 42 species (as well as some samples of uncertain taxonomic placement). Flavonoid variation within and between species is illustrated using a series of ordination analyses. Most species in each of "Apertae" and "Grandiflorae" and many in "Occlusae" can be distinguished by their flavonoid profiles, generally through possession of unique combinations of compounds.

This paper is the second in an intended series of three papers providing an overview of the composition and taxonomic distribution of leaf flavonoids in Hebe and Leonohebe. it is part of a larger study toward a taxonomic revision of these genera, carried out jointly by the Museum of New Zealand, industrial Research ltd, and victoria University of wellington. The background to the project, together with an outline of the purpose of these papers and their format, are provided in the first paper (Markham et al. 2005). The aim of this second paper is to provide details of the distribution of flavonoids in three of the informal infrageneric groups in Hebe, i.e., "Apertae", "Occlusae", and "Grandiflorae" (see Moore, in Allan 1961). The groups discussed in this paper are included together for practical reasons, and not because they are closely related. These groups are also not strictly equivalent to the infrageneric groups used in a recent monograph of Hebe (Bayly & Kellow 2006), largely because the flavonoid comparisons presented here were prepared before the classification of Bayly & Kellow (2006) was finalised. These groups are, nonetheless, useful in providing a framework for comparison between morphologically similar species.

330 MATERIALS AND METHODS

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2007, vol. 45 comprising H. angustissima, H. bishopiana, H. obtusata, and H. stricta; Subgroup 2, comprising H. acutiflora, H. adamsii1, H. bollonsii, H. breviracemosa1, H. ligustrifolia, H. perbella, and H. flavida; Subgroup 3, comprisingH. barkeri,H. chathamica, andH. dieffenbachii; Subgroup 4, comprisingH. adamsii1, H. corriganii1, H. macrocarpa, H. perbella, andH. tairawhiti. Ordinations were then performed separately for each subgroup. Hebe indet. (a), (b), (c), and (d) were not assigned to any of the subgroups. Hebe perbella was included in both subgroups 2 and 4, because it resembles some members of each of these groups in its morphology, i.e., having flowers with acute or subacute corolla lobes like members of subgroup 2, and having firm-textured leaves like most members of subgroup 4.

Flavonoids were analysed in a total of 377 leaf samples of "Apertae", "Occlusae", and "Grandiflorae" (details of voucher specimens are given in Appendix 1). Samples were collected, identified, and chemically analysed using the methods (including 2-dimensional paper chromatography (2D-PC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry) described by Markham et al. (2005). The details of all flavonoids mentioned in this paper (including names, structures, and some physico-chemical properties) are listed, by flavonoid number, in Markham et al. (2005, table 1). Most samples were assigned to previously recognised species or infraspecific taxa (authorities are provided by Bayly & Kellow (2006)), but the identities of 15 samples from Northland (all belonging to "Occlusae") remain uncertain. These samples are referred to four informal entities, listed as: Hebe in- RESULTS det. (a), from Hikurangi Swamp (discussed by Bayly & Kellow (2006) in the notes under H. stricta); H.

H. townsonii, and H. insularis) have distinct flavonoid profiles and do not overlap with any other in the ordination. The three subspecies of H. pubescens form a group with similar flavonoid profiles that overlap in the ordination. H. adamsii and H. breviracemosa cluster together and overlap with H. elliptica; H. leiophylla, H. corriganii, and H. stricta var. stricta also overlap in the ordination. hebe adamsii GENERAL: H. adamsii (1 sample) has a flavonoid profile similar to H. breviracemosa. it also overlaps in the ordination with some samples of H. elliptica, mostly because of shared absences of flavonoids.

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2007, vol. 45 One of the three most variable species in "Apertae". There is a partial correlation between geographic origin and flavonoid profile. Samples from the Kaweka Range, hawke's Bay (MJB 1339 and 1340), are more similar to each other than to other samples, all of which are from the hauhungaroa Range, and show some variation. H. corriganii is geographically widespread on North island, occurring in disjunct localities and in habitats ranging from near-coastal lowland scrub to montane forests close to altitudinal tree line; the sampling employed here might not adequately reflect the variation in this species. NOTES ON VARIATION:

DIFFERENCES f r o m c h e m i c a l l y s i m i l a r species: N o

flavonoid consistently distinguishes H. corriganii from H. leiophylla; individual samples are differentiated by their particular combination of flavonoids. Absence of 8c distinguishes it from H. stricta var. stricta, although 8b is present in both H. corriganii and H. stricta var. stricta3.

DIFFERENCES f r o m c h e m i c a l l y s i m i l a r species: P r e s -

ence of 12 and q and absence of 16a distinguish this species from H. breviracemosa. Presence of 1c, 12, and q and absence of 8b distinguish it from H. elliptica. hebe breviracemosa GENERAL: H. breviracemosa (1 sample) has a flavonoid profile similar to H. adamsii and also overlaps in the ordination with some samples of H. elliptica, mostly because of shared absences of flavonoids.

hebe elliptica GENERAL: H. elliptica (9 samples) has a flavonoid profile most similar to H. adamsii, H. breviracemosa, H. leiophylla, H. insularis, and samples of H. pubescens subsp. sejuncta from the Mokohinau islands, although these similarities may be partly due to shared absences.

22, 4,13, 23, and 16a.

samples are 4 and 8b. Those present in five or more are 13,14,12a, 23, and 3. Flavonoids 10 (trace), 22, 1e, 15,16a, 1a, 22a, 9,14c, 13a, 5a (unconfirmed weak), and 2 occur more sporadically.

within "Apertae", but not within Hebe. One of the three most variable species in "Apertae". There is some correlation between geographic origin and flavonoid profile; samples from Snares Is (WELT 83373/S1, S2, and S3) are more similar to each other than to most other samples. In contrast, MJB 1391 (Normanby Rd, Taranaki) and PJB H2 (Charleston, Nelson) are more similar to each other than to other samples from the same locations, i.e., MJB 1392 (Normanby Rd) and PJB H1 (Charleston). NOTES ON VARIATION:

SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavones present in all

samples are 10,4, 1b, and 1a. Those in three or more samples are 1c, 17, 13, 15, 16, 3d, 14a, 8b, and 3 Note that the presence of 8c may be obscured on 2DPc (very weakly). Flavonoids 12,17a, 24,14e (trace), by 8b, and also that 8b is a biosynthetic derivative of 8c. 22a, 15a, 13a, 5a, and i occur more sporadically. consequently, a lack of 8c, where 8b is present, may not be significant. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: None.

Mitchell et al.—Flavonoids in Hebe and Leonohebe 2 DIFFERENCES FROM CHEMICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES: Dif-

ferences from H. adamsii and H. breviracemosa are discussed under those species. Presence of 8b and absence of 14a and 15a distinguish H. elliptica from H. insularis. Absence of 4a and 16c distinguishes it from samples of H. pubescens subsp. sejuncta from the Mokohinau Islands. No flavonoid consistently distinguishes H. elliptica from H. leiophylla; individual samples are differentiated by particular combinations of flavonoids. It is noteworthy, however, that H. elliptica does not accumulate 1b, which occurs in all H. leiophylla samples except for PJB H6 and H7 (both from Bullock Creek, north of Punakaiki, Nelson). hebe leiophylla GENERAL: H. leiophylla (11 samples) has a variable flavonoid profile similar to H. corriganii, H. elliptica, H. paludosa, H. salicifolia, and H. stricta var. stricta. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Only flavone 4 occurs in all samples. Other flavones and flavonols present in five or more samples are 10, 1c, 13, 1b, 16, 1a, and 18. Flavonoids 12, 17, 22, 6, 24, 1f, 14, 16a, 14e (unconfirmed in three samples), 8b, 9a (unconfirmed weak in one sample), 5a, 21, and 19 occur more sporadically. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: 21 and 19 are unique to H. leio-

phylla within "Apertae", but not within Hebe. NOTES ON VARIATION: One of the three most variable species in "Apertae". Samples from the same locality are generally more similar to each other than to other samples, e.g., MJB 499 and 500 (Cobb Valley, Nelson), and MJB 535 and 543 (Gouland Downs, Nelson). however, all samples from north-west Nelson (MJB 499, 500, 515, 535, and 543) are not more similar to each other than they are to samples from Marlborough (MJB 721 and 1227). The two most distinctive samples are those from near the south-west limit of the species' range (PJB H6 and h7, Bullock creek, north of Punakaiki), which have profiles similar (particularly PJB H6) to some samples of H. elliptica (see notes under that species), H. salicifolia, and H. paludosa. DIFFERENCES FROM CHEMICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES: Dif-

ferences from H. corriganii and H. elliptica are discussed under those species. Absence of 9 distinguishes H. leiophylla from H. paludosa, and several flavonoids present in almost all H. leiophylla samples are absent from H.paludosa (i.e., 10,13, 1b, 16, and 1a). Absence of 8c and 8a distinguishes it from

333 H. salicifolia. Absence of 8c may also distinguish it from H. stricta var. stricta, although 8b is present in three H. leiophylla and all H. stricta var. stricta3.

hebe paludosa GENERAL: H. paludosa (2 samples), has a flavonoid profile most similar to H. leiophylla and H. salicifolia, although these similarities are partly due to shared absences. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavones and flavonols

present in both samples are 6, 4, 1a, 8b, 9, and 18. Flavone 1d also occurs in MJB 1142. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: None. NOTES ON VARIATION: The two samples, both from lake wahapo, westland, are similar. DIFFERENCES FROM CHEMICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES: Dif-

ferences from H. leiophylla are discussed under that species. Presence of 1a and 18 and absence of 8c and 8a distinguish H. paludosa from H. salicifolia. hebe pubescens subsp. pubescens GENERAL: H. pubescens subsp. pubescens (4 samples) has a flavonoid profile similar to H. pubescens subsp. sejuncta. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavones and flavonols

present in all samples are 10 (trace in two), 4,13, 12a (trace in two), 4a, 16c, 8b, 3,13a, and 25. Those in two or more samples are 1c (trace), 12 (trace in two of three), 15, 16 (trace), 16h (trace), 1a, 22a, 5a, and 18. Flavone 16g occurs at trace level in one sample. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: 4a and 25 are unique to H.pubes-

cens (but not to subsp. pubescens) within "Apertae", but not within Hebe. NOTES ON VARIATION: Samples from Raukawa, coromandel Peninsula (MJB 962 and 963) are more similar to each other than they are to samples from Stony Bay, Coromandel Peninsula (MJB 978 and 979). DIFFERENCES f r o m c h e m i c a l l y s i m i l a r species: N o

single flavonoid distinguishes subsp. pubescens from subsp. sejuncta. however, presence of 3, which is absent in all subsp. sejuncta samples from Mokohinau islands and present at only trace levels in two of the other three samples of subsp. sejuncta, provides some distinction (trace levels being treated as absences in this analysis). Additionally, presence of 13a, which is absent in all samples of subsp. sejuncta from the Mokohinau islands and only weakly present in samples from little Barrier island, provides further differentiation.

334

hebe pubescens subsp. rehuarum GENERAL: H. pubescens subsp. rehuarum (6 samples) has a flavonoid profile similar to subsp. sejuncta.

Others present similar to each other, with the species forming a in three or more samples are 1c, 4a, 16,22a, 3,13a, tighter cluster than most others in the ordination. 5a, and 2. Flavone 23 occurs in one sample. There is no clear correlation between geographic UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: 4a is unique to H. pubescens origin and flavonoid profile. For instance, samples (but not to subsp. rehuarum) within "Apertae", but from southern South Island (MJB 578, Lake Marian, Southland; MJB 1304, Te Waewae Bay, Southland) not within Hebe. are more similar to samples from Nelson (e.g., MJB NOTES ON VARIATION: All samples are from Great Bar504,508, and 1185) than to samples from intermedirier island. MJB 1052 and 1053 are from the same ate localities (e.g., MJB 1145, Lake Wahapo, Westpopulation (Needle Rocks) and, although 1053 is similar to 1052, the latter is more similar to the land; PGJ 2335, Waihao Forks, Canterbury; MJB 1293, Otira valley, westland). There is also variation samples from other localities. among samples from the same locality (i.e., MJB DIFFERENCES f r o m c h e m i c a l l y s i m i l a r species: P r e s 1185, 504, and 508 from cobb valley, Nelson). ence of 12a distinguishes subsp. rehuarum from subsp. sejuncta.

Hebe acutiflora GENERAL: H. acutiflora (9 samples) is only moderately variable in flavonoid profile, and is similar to H. ligustrifolia. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavonoids present in all samples are 13, 16a, 16d, and 18. Other flavones and flavonols present in five or more samples are 4, 12a, and 8b. Flavonoids 10,16 (trace), 1a, 9,3,13a, 19, and 25 occur more sporadically. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: None within large-leaved "Occlusae", but 16d is unique, within Hebe, to largeleaved "Occlusae". NOTES ON VARIATION: There is a partial relationship between geographic location and flavonoid profile, SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavone 8b occurs in all with samples collected from the same location gensamples. Flavones present in 45 or more samples are erally being similar, and placed near each other in 10,4,13,16, 1a, and 8c. Flavones 1b, 14d, 9,3,5a, the ordination, e.g., MJB 1540 and 1541 (Waipoua and 2 occur in 14 or more samples. Other flavonoids Forest, North Auckland), 1544 and 1545 (Puketi present more sporadically are 1c, 12,6, 1e, 15,12a, Forest, North Auckland), and MJB 445 and 446 4a, 14e, 22a, 3d, 14a (unconfirmed), 15a (trace), (Rainbow Falls, North Auckland).

DIFFERENCES f r o m c h e m i c a l l y s i m i l a r s p e c i e s / v a r i e TIES: No single flavonoid clearly distinguishes var. NOTES ON VARIATION: There are few samples for comatkinsonii, var. egmontiana, var. lata, or var. mac- parison, but there is probably no correlation between roura from var. stricta. The tetraploid sample MJB flavonoid profile and geographic location, e.g., MJB 1639 differs from all other H. stricta by the absence 1414 (Matapouri Bay, North Auckland) and AK of 8c, but it does produce 8b3.

Most samples have similar flavonoid profiles, but a few are more distinctive. H. stricta var. stricta (38 samples) overlaps all other varieties in the ordination. H. stricta var. atkinsonii (9 samples) partly overlaps var. stricta, var. egmontiana (6 samples), and var. lata (4 samples). variety lata overlaps var. stricta and var. atkinsonii, and is similar to var. egmontiana. variety macroura (5 samples) is as similar to some samples of var. egmontiana as it is to var. stricta, overlapping both varieties. The only species which overlaps H. stricta in the ordination is H. obtusata.

342

Hebe flavida GENERAL: H. flavida (12 samples) has a relatively variable flavonoid profile. Ten of the samples have profiles similar to H. breviracemosa, H. ligustrifolia, and H.perbella, but two, MJB 1419 and w e l T 81843, are more distinct. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavones and flavonols

present in all samples are 13, 1a, and 18, while 10, 1c, 22, 4,16a, and 19 occur in six or more. Those occurring more sporadically are 1e, 23, 4a (trace), 16, 22a, 3d (trace), 8b, 3, 5a, 25, and c. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: None, but 19 is limited to Subgroup 2 within large-leaved "Occlusae", apart from an unconfirmed presence in one H. angustissima sample. NOTES ON VARIATION: There is a partial relationship between geographic location and flavonoid profile. For example, MJB 1407 and 1408 (Kerr Road, North Auckland) are almost identical, and MJB 1553 and 1554 (Horokaka, North Auckland) are also very similar to each other. Samples MJB 1560 and 1561 (Maunganui Bluff, North Auckland), however, are more distinct from each, as are MJB 1419 and 1420 (Waima Range, North Auckland). DIFFERENCES FROM CHEMICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES: Dif-

ferences from H. ligustrifolia and H. perbella are discussed under those species. Presence of 1a and 18 distinguishes it from H. breviracemosa. hebe ligustrifolia GENERAL: H. ligustrifolia (15 samples) has a highly variable flavonoid profile with samples overlapping all other species in subgroup 2, except possibly H. adamsii ("Apertae", only included for comparison).

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2007, vol. 45 Bream Head (MJB 430 and 432), Cape Reinga (MJB 1551 and 1552), and Whangaruru (MJB 1436 and 1437). Also, samples from Tutukaka Harbour (MJB 1433 and 1550) collected eight months apart have very distinct flavonoid profiles, being placed some distance from each other in the Subgroup 2 ordination. This pattern of variation has not been correlated with any obvious morphological characters. DIFFERENCES FROM CHEMICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES: Dif-

ferences from H. acutiflora and H. bollonsii are discussed under those species. Although no single flavonoid glycoside distinguishes it from all H. flavida samples, most H. ligustrifolia samples have 16d, which is absent from H. flavida, and only 4 out of 15 have 1a, which is present in all H. flavida samples. it is distinguished from H. adamsii by presence of 8b and absence of 12 and q. hebe perbella GENERAL: The two samples of H. perbella have substantially different flavonoid profiles. One, MJB 407, is most similar to H. breviracemosa, H. flavida, and some samples of H. ligustrifolia, while MJB 1538 is distinct from all other species included in Subgroup 2. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavones present in both samples are 10, 1c (trace in one sample), 4,13, and 16 (unconfirmed in one sample). Other flavonoids present in MJB 1538 are 1b, 16b, 1a, 22a, 3d, 8c, 8b, 3, and a. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: a is unique within Hebe. NOTES ON VARIATION: MJB 1538 (cult. ex Maungaraho

Rock, North Auckland) produces flavonoid glycosides not present in MJB 407 (cult. ex Waima Forest, North Auckland).

SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavones 4,13, and 8b are

present in all samples and 16a in all but two. Other flavonoids present in 8 or more samples are 1c, 22, 16d, 16 (trace in 6 of 10 samples), and 5a. Flavones and flavonols occurring more sporadically are 10, 6, 18a, 1e (trace), 12a, 23, 1b, 16b, 1a, 22a, 14a (trace), 8c, 8a, 9,3,13a, 2 (trace), 18,19, and 25. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: None, but presence of 1a is limited to Subgroup 2 within large-leaved "Occlusae". NOTES ON VARIATION: There is no apparent relationship between geographic location and flavonoid profile. Pairs of samples collected from the same location on the same day have distinct flavonoid profiles and are, in most cases, more similar to samples from other locations than to each other, e.g., samples from

samples differ from H. flavida by absence of 18, and from H. breviracemosa by absence of 22 and 23. H. perbella differs from the morphologically similar (Bayly & Kellow 2006) H. adamsii by absence of 12, 22, 23, and q. Subgroup 3 (Fig. 5) hebe barkeri GENERAL: H. barkeri (4 samples) has a variable flavonoid profile that is distinct from other members of Subgroup 3, but is most similar to H. dieffenbachii. SUMMARY OF FLAVONOIDS: Flavonoids present in all samples are 4, 15, 12a, 16a, 8a, and 8b. Others

Mitchell et al.—Flavonoids in Hebe and Leonohebe 2 present in two or three are 22 and 1e, while 10,17, 5b, 6 (trace), and 5a only occur in MJB 699. UNIQUE COMPOUNDS: Flavone 5b is unique within

large-leaved "Occlusae" but not within Hebe. NOTES ON VARIATION: There is no clear relationship between geographic origin and flavonoid profile. MJB 692 (Rangaika Scenic Reserve, Chatham Island) is less similar to MJB 699, from the same location, than it is to both MJB 717 and MJB 718 (Tuku Nature Reserve, chatham island). DIFFERENCES f r o m c h e m i c a l l y s i m i l a r species: H.

barkeri differs from H. dieffenbachii by presence of 8a and absence of 8c, and from H. chathamica by absence of 13 and 8c, but 8b is present in H. barkeri3. hebe chathamica GENERAL: H. chathamica (4 samples) has a flavonoid profile most similar to H. dieffenbachii.

343 NOTES ON VARIATION: There is no clear relationship be-

tween geographic origin and flavonoid profile. MJB 697 and 698 (Rangaika Scenic Reserve, Chatham island) are similar relative to other samples, but MJB 696 from the same location is more distinct. MJB 713 and 714 (Matarakau, Chatham Island) are variable relative to the species as a whole. All other samples are from separate locations on chatham island. DIFFERENCES FROM CHEMICALLY SIMILAR SPECIES: Dif-

ferences from H. barkeri and H. chathamica are discussed under those species. Subgroup 4 (Fig. 6) hebe macrocarpa GENERAL: H. macrocarpa (14 samples) has a variable flavonoid profile that is distinct from other members of Subgroup 4. it is most similar to H. corriganii.

vonoid consistently distinguishes H. indet. (d) from H. ligustrifolia; individual samples are distinguished by their particular combination of flavonoids. H. indet. (d) differs from: H.flavida by absence of 1a; H. acutiflora by absence of 16d; H. angustissima by absence of 8c and 8a; H. obtusata by presence of 16a and absence of 5d. Flavonoid profiles of small-leaved "Occlusae" The flavonoid chemistry of small-leaved "Occlusae" (Appendix 4) is dominated by the production of O-glycosides of luteolin, 6-hydroxyluteolin, and 8-hydroxyluteolin. Apigenin, 6-hydroxyapigenin, kaempferol, and quercetin O-glycosides are also produced, but to a lesser extent. H. stenophylla, H. brockiei, H. treadwellii, and H. decumbens possess very active flavone 6- and 8-hydroxylating enzymes, producing almost exclusively the 6- and 8-hydroxyluteolin and 8-hydroxyapigenin glycosides. in contrast, several species, including H. parviflora, H. strictissima, and H. calcicola, accumulate significant amounts of the luteolin-O-glycosides, as well as the 6- and 8-hydroxyflavone glycosides. Approximately one third of the taxa, including H. albicans, H. calcicola, H. evenosa, H. parviflora, H. strictissima, H. topiaria, and H. traversii accumulate significant amounts of 3-O-glycosides of the flavonols kaempferol and/or quercetin. The production of either

within small-leaved "Occlusae" and within Hebe. NOTES ON VARIATION: There is no clear relationship between geographic origin of samples and flavonoid profile. Samples from the same location are generally no more similar to each other than to those from other locations. For example, variation among samples from Peel Range, Nelson (MJB 477, 478, 552, 1190, and 1191) represents a large proportion of flavonoid variation of the species. Also, samples from "Harwoods Lookout" (Takaka Hill), Nelson (MJB 1195 and 1196), are less similar to each other than to samples from other localities.
