glucopyranosyl-(1-.*3)-f3-D-arabinopyranosyljujubogenin, which was probably previously isolated by Ikram et al. (1) but with some difference in the configuration of the arabinose sugar. Compound 2 is 3-O-aD -fucopyranosyl-(1-*2)-13-D-glucopyranosyl-4-sulphate-(1-*3)-/3-D-arabinopyranosyljujubogenin. Compound 3 is 3-O-f3-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-*2)-a-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-*3)-fl-o-arabinopyranosyljujuhogenin. Compound 4 is 3-O-a-L-fucopyranosyl-((1-*2)-f3-D-arabinopyranosyl-(1-* 3)-fl-o-glucopyranosyl-(1-*3)-J3-u-arabinopyranosyljujuhogenin. For 2, 3, and 4, according to the available literature, this is the first report on their isolation and structure elucidation. The names christinins A, B, C, and D are suggested for these triterpenoid saponins. References that in the described secretory systems mostly these types of substances can be found. Compounds identified up to the present include rutin, kaempferol, and quercitrin. The substances in the two different kinds of secretory systems are nearly corresponding, namely in extracts of the drugs chopped up, or in the liquid obtained by washing the intact leaves carefully, the flavonoid composition did not differ considerably.
