Abstract
This work is a taxonomic study on flavonoids in the leaves of selected species belonged to family Malvaceae. These species
considered as: Abelmoschus esculentus, Hibiscus sabdariffa and Gossypium barbadense. These species distributed in different localities
in Sudan. The selected members have nutritive, medicinal and economic importance, extra of that, the present study included
botanical and chemical studies. The collected species have been updated due to nomenclature and synonymy. The geographical
distribution of the selected members has been indicated. The chemical studies included identification of the flavonoid compounds
using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometer (GC - MS). Eighty-three flavonoid compounds were detected in the leaves of
family Malvaceae. The highest number (36) was detected in the leaves of Abelmoschus esculentus. Five flavonoid compounds were
identified as taxonomic markers for the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa. Thirteen flavonoids were restricted only to the leaves of
Gossypium barbadense.
