Abstract

In leaves, roots and calli of P. dodecandra we found two 28,30-dicarboxyolean-12-enes and their glycosides in addition to the hitherto known four 28-monocarboxyolean-12-enes on which the chemotaxonomy was based. Therefore, P. dodecandra can no longer be considered as chemotaxonomically different from the other Phytolacca species.
