Teucrium polium subsp. gnaphalodes (L'Her.) O. Bolòs & Vigo

Teucrium gnaphalodes is a plant species in the genus Teucrium . It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula and grows at altitudes between 200 and 1500 m. It flowers from March to July.

The flavones diosmin, cirsimaritin, salvigenin, cirsilineol, cirsiliol, luteolin, apigenin and the flavanone naringenin, as well as the flavone glycosides luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, and the diglycosides luteolin-7-O-β-D-rutinoside, luteolin-7-O-β-D-neohesperidoside (veronicastroside) and luteolin-7-O-β-D-sambubioside can be found in T. gnaphalodes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Flavonoid biosynthesis</span>

Flavonoids are synthesized by the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway in which the amino acid phenylalanine is used to produce 4-coumaroyl-CoA. This can be combined with malonyl-CoA to yield the true backbone of flavonoids, a group of compounds called chalcones, which contain two phenyl rings. Conjugate ring-closure of chalcones results in the familiar form of flavonoids, the three-ringed structure of a flavone. The metabolic pathway continues through a series of enzymatic modifications to yield flavanones → dihydroflavonols → anthocyanins. Along this pathway, many products can be formed, including the flavonols, flavan-3-ols, proanthocyanidins (tannins) and a host of other various polyphenolics.

Echinops echinatus, the Indian globe thistle, commonly known as Usnakantaka, is a species of globe thistle, found in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Indian globe thistle is an erect branched herb about 100 cm high. It has short, stout stems, branching from the base, covered with white cottony hair. Alternately arranged oblong, deeply pinnatifid leaves are 7–12 cm long. Flower heads occur in solitary white spherical balls, 3–5 cm across. Petals of the tiny white disc florets are 5 mm long. Flowers are surrounded by straight, strong, white bristles. Often misidentified with Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertner, it is colloquially known as Camel's thistle.
