Abstract
Petrol ether and chloroform extracts of the herba of Salvia amplexicaulis Lam. yielded a number of hydrocarbons, β-sitosterol, sitosteryl–3β–D–glucoside, oleanolic
acid and small amounts of α– and β-amyrine.
The compounds were identified by gas– and TLC–chromatography as well as UV, IR, NMR
and mass spectral methods.
