The presence of anthocyanins in the achenes of some varieties of sunflower was ascertained for the first time. The two major pigments were identified as Pn‐3‐divanillylsambubioside and Cy‐3‐vanillylsambubioside. For two other pigments present in smaller quantities, a tentative identification awaiting confirmation was made and the constituents were identified. Traces were found of five other pigments for which chromatographic data are presented.
