Sažetak
Geranium dalmaticum (Beck) Rech. f. (family Geraniaceae) is an endemic Illyric-Balcanic species which grows at the edges of karst valleys and cracks, and in crevices of calcareous rocks in Croatia Montenegro and Albania at altitudes from 200 m to 961 m. It is a perennial herb up to 15 cm high with dull purplish-red flowers. On the other hand, G. macrorrhizum L. is a perennial herb up to 50 cm high with larger leaves and dull purplish-red flowers. G. macrorrhizum grows in mountainous and shady places on calcareous soils in France, Italy, Austria, Balkan Peninsula, Romania, and west Russia. The aim of this study was to get insight in content of phenolic compounds using HPLC in ethanol extracts of above ground part of G. dalmaticum from Mt Sv. Ilija (Croatia), and G. macrorrhizum from Mt Velebit (Croatia). Only quercetin (0.230%) was identified in G. dalmaticum herba, while only rutin (1.116%) was found in G. macrorrhizum. On the other hand, the naringenin, and caffeic, coumaric, ferulic, rosmarinic, and sinapic acid were not identified in investigated species. The obtained results present worth additional knowledge on the genus Geranium L. in general, and particularly on the endemic G. dalmaticum.
