An acidic heteropolysaccharide isolated from the mucilage of the roots of the marsh mallow (Althaea officinafis L., var. Rhobusta) via its insoluble barium salt contained D-galactose, L-rhamnose, n-glucuronic acid, and n-galacturonic acid in the molar ratios 1.2: 1 .O: 1 .O: 1 .O. It was homogenous

✦ Synopsis
A water-soluble L-arabinan isolated from the mucous material of the roots of the marsh mallow (Althea ojjficinah L.) has a highly branched structure of -90 (Y-L-arabinofuranosyl residues variously linked by (l&.5), (l-+3), and (l&2) bonds. Some of the L-arabinosyl groups are involved in branches through O-2, O-3, and O-5. There was good agreement between the results obtained by chemical and 13Cn.m.r.-spectroscopic methods. The polymer has essentially the same structural features as those found for L-arabinans isolated from other plant sources.
