✦ Synopsis

Rennkea maritim (Qperaaeae) is a small perennial which is coamkon on the sea shores of northern Australia and a cosmopolitan tropical species. Ether extraction of the rhizomes of this plant gives a deep orange gum from whioh two'new phenolic ketones can be obtained by chromatography on silica gel, together with a new series of @nones whichwill be discussed in the following paper. We propose the names iso-evodionol and remirol for the phenolic ketones. Iso-Evodionol (II), Cl&O4 , separated from hexane as large yellow needles mp. 128.5-129O, dinitrophenylhydrasone mp. 179-180', and represents 0.4% of the dried rhieome. Hydrogenation
