Abstract
In a preliminary chemotaxonomic study, by thin-Iayer chromatography, samples of Lamiaceae (39 species of 25 genera), Scrophulariaceae (5 species of Linaria and 4 of Veronica) and Rubiaceae (15 species of Galium) were screened for iridoids, flavonids and triterpenoids. The usefulness of these substances as taxonomic markers is discussed in the Iight of congruence between the new results and the accepted c1assification.
