A new diterpene designated calliphyllin, betulinic acid, 5,4'-dihydrox
y-3;7,3'-trimethoxyflavone, 5,4'-dihydroxy-3,7,3'-dimethoxyflavone, 5,
4'-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone and beta-sitosterol have been isolat
ed from the leaves of Callicarpa macrophylla Vahl. (Verbenaceae). Call
iphyllin has been shown to possess 14 alpha-hydroxy-isopimaric acid (1
) structure on the basis of nmr and mass spectral and chemical evidenc
