From the seeds of Gloriosa superba L. (Liliaceae), two new compounds u
rsolic acid-3 beta-tetracosanoate 1 and 6-hydroxy-24-oxotritriacontane
2, and the known compounds hentriacontane, nonacosane, palmitic acid,
beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosterol-3 beta-D-glucoside, beta-sitosterol-
3 beta-D-palmitate and stearate, 1-n-butyl-beta-D-fructopyranoside, lu
teolin, orcinol and 2-hydorxy-6-methoxybenzoic acid have been isolated
and characterized by their spectral and chemical studies.
