Abstract

Metrosideros polymorpha is a highly variable and widely-distributed tree native to the Hawaiian islands. We describe here the isolation of two new gossypetin derivatives and three new C-methylated flavonol glycosides, which are highly uncommon and may prove to be useful chemotaxonomic markers for the species. In addition, a wide range of known flavonoid glycosides, Chalcones, and Terpenoids were isolated alongside the new compounds.
