The results of ABTS ̇ + radical scavenging activity showed a highly significant ( P < 0.001), very strong correlation with total flavonoid content ( r = 0.943), and a non-significant moderate correlation with total phenolics content ( r = 0.625), indicating that flavonoids may contribute more significantly to the observed antioxidant activity in Pulicaria species than phenolics. 3.5.
