Abstract

A new flavellagic acid derivative, 3,3',4,4'-tetra-O-methylflavellagic acid and six known compounds were isolated from the stems of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa while a new phloroglucinol, named rhodomyrtosone I, and six known compounds were isolated from the fruit. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses as well as by comparisons with related compounds.
