%X chloroform or dichloromethane extracts of 357 southern brazilian plant species were tested for the presence of peroxides by thinlayer chromatography, using the spray reagent from huber & fr£¿hlke. from the species tested, 71 (20%) showed positive results and most of them (56%) are asteraceae species. the species tested were mainly from asteraceae, but 55 more families were screened, in a total of 77 genera surveyed.
