Glycyrrhiza echinata L. - Fabaceae - Russian liqourice, Russische Lakritze

Perennial herb, native to south-eastern Europe and adjacent parts of West Asia; spikes of pale blue flowers; pods bright red to red-brown. http://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/198408.html

Roots are lesser sweet than from the other sources of liquorice and the volatiles are very different, with mainly β-caryophyllene oxide (21-24%), (2E,4E)-decadienal (18-20%), humulene epoxide II (10-11%), (E)-2-heptenal, 5-methyl-furfural, (2E,4E)-heptadienol, (E)-2-octen-1-al, and (2E,4Z)-decadienal.

„The nucleotide sequences of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit gene (rbcL) of Glycyrrhiza glabra, G. uralensis, G. inflata, G. echinata, G. macedonica and G. pallidiflora have been determined to construct their phylogenetic tree. Based on these sequences, the six Glycyrrhiza species were divided into two groups: three, G. glabra, G. uralensis, and G. inflata, which produce glycyrrhizin as a major saponin, and the others, G. echinata, G. macedonica and G. pallidiflora, which produce macedonoside C as a major saponin.“
