Chemotypes of Ligularia vellerea, its hybrids, and L. melanothyrsa.
Ligularia vellerea and L. melanothyrsa have been found to share chemical characteristics based on geography. In one chemotype (Shangrila type), the major components were either 15-oxygenated furanoeremophilanes or eremophilanolides; and in another (Luguhu type), either 1-angeloyloxyfuranoeremophilanes or corresponding lactones. The two L. vellerea samples were found to have experienced hybridization with either L. cyathiceps or L. kanaitzensis; however, compounds typical of L. vellerea alone were isolated from them.
