Summary
The antifungal activity of kaempferol-3-(2,3-diacetoxy-4-p-coumaroyl)rhamnoside, a new flavonol glycoside isolated from the leaves ofMyrica gale, has been investigated. The flavonoid was found to have varying inhibitory activity against five species of fungi isolated from the leaves ofMyrica gale in the field.
