Sažetak
Iris adriatica Trinajstić ex Mitić (Iridaceae L.) is an accepted name describing the strictly endemic taxon from Croatia. It is a rhizomatous dwarf plant from the I. pumila complex with a distribution area limited to the Croatian part of the Mediterranean area, mainly central Dalmatia. The genus Iris is known for its richness in isoflavonoids which play also a significant role in chemotaxonomy and biological activity. Hence, in the current study, different plant batches of I. adriatica, collected in early spring of 2016, were analyzed for their phytochemical profiles and qualitatively compared. UHPLC-PDA-ESI-MS analyses of methanolic rhizome extracts were performed. Altogether, 36 compounds, representing isoflavonoids (including 6, 7- methylendioxy derivatives), benzophenones and xanthones were found as aglycones or in glycosidically bound form to be the main constituent groups of I. adriatica rhizomes. Qualitative results were identical between different batches of plant material from all collection sites in central Dalmatia and only differed in quantity. For some phenolic compounds of I. adriatica the chemotaxonomic relevance was detected.
