The main iridoids were identified as loganic acid, loganin, sweroside and cornuside. An original methodology for iridoid determination based on HPLC with UV and ESI-TOF-MS detection was developed. 3-galactosides of cyanidin (19,0-80,3%) and pelargonidin (15,1-75,6%) were found as main anthocyanins. Profile of individual AC was determined by HPLC with UV/Vis and ESI-TOF-MS detections. Total AC amount evaluated by pH-differential spectrophotometry was minimal in unripe fruits (11,2 mg/100 g), and maximal in mature fruits (92,2 mg/100 g). The OPC content, estimated by Bate-Smith method, varied from 20-25 mg/100 g of unripe cornelian cherries to 80-430 mg/100 g of mature cornelian cherries. Total phenolics content determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method, was 150-400 mg/100 g fresh fruit weight. nana (Carr.10 samples of fresh-frozen cornelian cherry fruits (Cornus mas L.), collected in the Tambov and the Caucasus regions, were investigated for the total amount and composition of the main biologically active substances (BAS): anthocyanins (AC), proanthocyanidins (OPC), dihydroxycinnamic acids (DHCA), iridoids, organic acids, mono- and disaccharides and antiradical activity in the DPPH-test in vitro. Kingdon Ward’s introduction is certainly tender, but worthy of trial in the milder and moister parts of the country. The finest and best known specimen grows in the Temperate House at the Savill Gardens, where it has assumed the aspect of a tree of some tropical rain-forest, with leaves a foot long. However, seed of the Rima dogwood was collected and of the six plants raised, one survived and is the parent of those now in cultivation. A few days later the hillside on which he was camping was thrown into the river by the shock of the earthquake and he barely escaped with his life. Collecting near Rima, where the Tsangpo emerges from the Himalaya, his attention was caught by a dogwood that resembled Cornus mas but was ‘taller, with a smooth, palm-like stem and much larger mops, composed of more numerous flowers, of a luminous sulphur-yellow’. For the late Frank Kingdon Ward, this species always called to memory the great Assam earthquake of 1950. officinalis by the whitish-grey indumentum of the under-surface of the leaves and from both species by its longer, more tapered sepals and the black fruits. The following varieties are in cultivation: 'Aurea Elegantissima' The fruit also used to be made into a rob (syrup) or preserve. It was formerly, if not now, much used on the continent for small articles in domestic use. The wood, although limited in quantity, has considerable value because of its tough, hard, durable nature. The fruit is handsome, but not, in my experience, freely borne. As it is without foliage when in bloom, it is a great advantage if it can be associated with some evergreen, such as holly. It is still one of the most valuable we have. Before the introduction of the Japanese witch hazels the Cornelian cherry was the most effective of yellow-flowering shrubs in bloom as early as February. Native of Europe, cultivated for centuries in Britain. wide, indented at the apex, of good acid flavour. Fruit a bright red, oblong drupe 5⁄ 8 in. across, enclosed before opening in four downy, boat-shaped bracts. diameter, yellow, produced in February and March on the leafless stems in short-stalked umbels from the joints of the previous year’s wood, each umbel about 3⁄ 4 in. wide (sometimes considerably larger on strong shoots) apex slender-pointed base tapered or rounded dark dull green, both surfaces furnished with centrally attached, flattened hairs veins in three to five pairs stalk 1⁄ 4 in. A deciduous shrub or small tree sometimes 45 ft high, of spreading, rather open habit young branchlets covered with minute, flattened, greyish hairs.
