A new acylated anthocyanin was isolated from the red-purple flowers of x Laeliocattleya cv Mini Purple as one of the major anthocyanins. The structure of this pigment was determined to be cyanidin 3-O-[6-O-(malonyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside] -7-O-[6-O-(trans-p-coumaryl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside] -3'-O-[6-O-[trans-4-O-[6-O-(trans-p-coumaryl)-beta- D-glucopyranosyl]-p-coumaryl]-beta-D-glucopyranoside] based on spectroscopic methods.
