Abstract
A FLAVONOID glycoside, dactylin, was found to occur in pollens of timothy and orchard grass in 1931 by Moore and Moore1. Until this present study, there existed no complete structural data on dactylin. An abstract by Johnson et al. 2 indicated that dactylin was not chromatographically similar to simultaneously processed isoquercitrin, quercitrin and quercetin. They also report that spectrographically dactylin aglycon and quercetin, individually and mixed, have identical patterns in three solvent systems.
