GENERIC LIMITS IN GENTIANA L. (s.l) FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR: A CHEMOTAXONOMIC APPROACH SAOOD OMER, MOHAMMAD QAISER AND SYED IRTIFAQ ALl Abstract: Generic limits in Gentiana L. (s.l.) from Pakistan and Kashmir was evaluated chemotaxonomically. Forty four taxa belonging to 8 genera were delimited into three broad groups on the basis of their flavonoid patterns where Rutin and Quercetin were the most widely distributed compounds present in 79 % and 76 % of the taxa respectively. The observations and results also suggested that the genera Aliopsis, Gentianopsis, Aloitis, Comastoma and Jaeschkea are advanced than Ciminalis, Gentianodes and Qaisera in evolutionary sequence.
