Abstract
The presence of coumarin, o-coumaric acid, and melilotic acid has been shown in leaf tissue of Gliricidia sepium and Dipteryx odorata. The formation of these compounds in relation to leaf maturation is described and their possible bio-synthetic interrelationships discussed. Qualitative and quantitative chromato-graphic methods for their determination are described.
