3.14. Thalassodendron (3, Cymodoceaceae, Red Sea, Western Indian Ocean, coast of Eastern Malaysia, NE and SW Australia, and coasts of Southern Africa)

T. ciliatum collected in the Red Sea off the Egyptian coast yielded caffeic acid 28, the dihydrochalcones asebotin 45 and 3-hydroxyasebotin 46, the ssavonoids quercetin 3- O -β- D- xylopyranoside 98 and rutin 99, and a mixture of (+)-catechin 102 and (―)-catechin 103 ( Hamdy et al., 2012).

Mohammed et al. (2014) additionally reported the following phenolics from T. ciliatum collected in the Red Sea near Hurghada/ Egypt (addition in proofs, thus without depiction and compound numbers for asebogenin 6- O -rutinoside and quercetin 3,7-di- O -glucoside, which have only been reported for this species): chalcones asebotin 45 and asebogenin 6- O -rutinoside (trivial name suggested by the authors: thalassodendrone), the ssavonoid quercetin 3-7- O -diglucoside, and phenolic acids 10, 13, and 29.
