Abstract
Cyanohydrin glucosides from Piriqueta taubatensis, P viscosa ssp. australis, Turnera angustifolia, T. caerulea, T. chamaedryfolia, T. hassleriana and Wormskioldia longipedunculata were isolated and identified. Members of the Turneraceae produce cyclopentanoid cyanohydrin glucosides as weil as linamarin. This is the first report of linamarin from the Turneraceae. Both types of 1,4-dioxygenated cyclopentanes (cis and trans) were represented. The relationship of the Turneraceae to the Passifloraceae and Flacourtiaceae is discussed briefly.
