A novel fast and automatic methodology for the hierarchical classification and similarity matching of mid-infrared spectra of paint samples based on the principles of Soft Independent Modelling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) and on the definition and properties of the Mahalanobis distance is here proposed. This approach was tested in a so-called market study (i.e.

In this paper, the phytochemical analysis on the inflorescences (flowers and bracts) of a sample of collected from an isolated population in Central Italy, was reported for the first time. Thirteen compounds (oleanolic acid, maslinic acid, apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol-3--glucoside, quercetin-3--glucoside, rutin, tiliroside, ellagic acid, shikimic acid and quinic acid), belonging to several different classes of natural products, were identified on the basis of spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis. This sample was found to be mainly composed by flavonoids, followed by organic acids and pentacyclic triterpenes.
