| Abstract:
Eight cultivars of Calendula officinalis L. were cultivated in 1993 and 1994 at 2 different locations in Austria. Morphological traits (number of inflorescences, dry weight of inflorescences, diameter of flower heads and number of rings of ray florets) as well as content of faradiol-3-monoesters and  -Taraxasterol, determined by TLC, were investigated.
Regarding the morphological traits strongest environmental influence could be observed for the number of inflorescences, followed by the number of rings of ray florets.
The ‘diameter of flower heads’, ‘dry weight of inflorescences’ and ‘content of faradiol-3-monoesters’ proved to be ‘stable’ parameters.
