Name accuracy?

[edit]

Having checked the first citation, "Chrysanthemin and cyanin in species of the genus Rhaponticum", I was unable to find any mention of the "O" in the name. The closest quotation I can find in the text matching the name of the compound is as follows (emphasis my own):

Thus, in the species Rhaponticum carthamoides, Rh. scariosum, Rh. pulchrum, and Rh. lyratum,

9, 5, 5, and 5, respectively, anthocyanin glycosides have been detected, the main ones in

terms of amount being cyanidin 3-glucoside (chrysanthemin) and cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside (cyanin).

Is this a problem? My knowledge of chemistry isn't terrible but nothing to write home about, so I am unable to judge whether or not the name is acceptable. Rambunctious Racoon (talk) 13:10, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
