β¦ Synopsis
During investigations into the constituenta of the leaf wax of lemongraes, Cnnbooooaon citratug Stapf, two triterpenoids were isolated, a ketone, which we have named cymbopogone, and an alcohol which has been named cymbopogonol.' The spectroscopic and analytical data for cymbopogone, which we present in this paper, are consistent with structure I.

Two novel triterpenoid saponins, phelasin A (1) and phelasin B (2), were isolated from the bark of Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb) Miq. The structures were established by one-and two-dimensional 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The aglycone of 1, phelasingenin (3), is a new compound characterized as 3Λ-h
