Abstract
The contents of hyperin, astragalin, prunin and an unidentified flavanone in the fronds ofAdiantum monochlamys were determined throughout 18 months. The flavonoid pattern was qualitatively stable but the content of each component varied seasonally. The amount of hyperin increased considerably from autumn to winter.
