Abstract

The leaves of 5 fern species of the genusCyathea, i.e.C. fauriei, C. mertensiana, C. leichhardtiana, C. podophylla andC. hancockii, have been chemically analysed.

The former 3 species have kaempferol 3-sophoroside (sophoraflavonoloside) and kaempferol 7-rhamnoglucoside as glycosidic components, and the latter 2 species contain kaempferol 3-galactoside (trifolin) and kaempferol 3-rhamnoglucoside (nicotiflorin). In addition, vitexin, orientin, kaempferol 3-glucoside (astragalin), kaempferol 3-rhamnoside (afzelin) and kaempferol 7-arabinoside are detected as common constituents in all the 5 species analysed.
