ANTHOCYANINS THAT CONFER CHARACTERISTIC COLOR TO RED COPIHUE FLOWERS (LAPAGERIA ROSEA)

The Copihue (Lapageria rosea), also known as the Chilean bellflower, is the national flower of Chile and is the only species in the genus Lapageria. The copihue's tepals are commonly red, with white or pink being less common. The red color of the copihue has been glorified in legends, poems and...
