A new flavonol glycoside, kaempferol 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-al
pha-L-rhamnopyranoside (1), was isolated from the flowers of Cassia hirsuta
along with two known flavonol glycosides, kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside and ru
tin. The structure of compound 1 has been established on the basis of spect
ral data and by acid hydrolysis.
