Introduction

The acetogenic naphthoquinones, plumbagin (P in this paper) and ramentaceone (7-methyljuglone, M in this paper) are important chemotaxonomic markers in sundews (Drosera L., Culham & Gornall 1994, Schlauer et al. 2017, 2018). Further accessions have been investigated, and the results are presented and discussed here.
