Berger. Anthrone C-glycosides are among a suite of chemical constituents of systematic importance in Aloe. The compound is of interest as a putative phytochemical marker for the east African taxa in the maculate species complex.enElsevierAloe ellenbeckii6′-MalonylnataloinC-glycosylanthroneMaculate aloesPostprint Article
