Scutellaria rupestris subsp. adenotricha (Boiss. & Heldr.) Greuter & Burdet (Lamiaceae) is an herbaceous perennial plant, endemic to Albania and Greece [1]. The methanol extract of the aerial parts afforded eight iridoids, namely catalpol, albidoside, scutellarioside II, dihydrocatalpogenine (C-1) α-epimer/β-epimer, globularin, globularidin, mussaenosidic acid, two known phenylethanoid glycosides, acteoside, martynoside, and one known phenolic derivative, E - p -coumaroylglucoside. The chemical profile of this taxon shows many similarities to that of previously investigated S. albida subsp. albida [2,3], S. albida subsp. colchica [4] and S. goulimii [5], of the S . albida group.
