Abstract

The percentage of anthraquinone glucoside in Senna decreased with the increase in area and age of leaves and pods, the decrease being sharp at maturity. When the total content of anthraquinone glucoside, rhein and non rhein per one hundred leaflets and one hundred pods were calculated, it was shown that these amounts increased markedly with age reaching maximum at full maturity.
