Abstract

The aerial parts of Rumex bucephalophorus yielded 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydr oxyflavan-3-ol together with nine anthraquinones and flavonoids; chrysophanol, emodin, aloe-emodin, isovitexin, iso-orientin, orientin, querecetin, kampferol 3-0-glucoside and luteolin-7-0-glucoside. The structure of these compounds was established on the basis of their spectral characters.
