Abstract

Ligularia hodgsonii was found to be diverse in China. Furanoeremophilanes were isolated from samples collected in Yunnan Province, while such compounds were absent from samples from Sichuan, Gansu, and Chongqing. DNA sequencing showed that the Yunnan samples were also genetically distinct. γ-Humulene and a new bisabolane sesquiterpene were isolated.
