f The sugar has been variously called D-isorhamnose, D-epirhamnose, isorhodeose,
and chinovose. It is found in glycosides from Cincona spp. (Rubiaceae) {26). D-Quinovose
has, until recently, been associated with the plant kingdom. Hydrolyzates of the venom
of the holothurian (sea cucumber) Actinopyga agassizi yield the sugar along with D-xylose,
3-O-methyl-D-glucose and D-glucose itself {26a).
% The sugar is found in glycosidic combination, along with D-glucose and L-rhamnose
in glycosides obtained from members of the Convolvulaceae (84).
