title: Constituents of Chondria armata.
abstract: A novel long chain fatty ester, pentyl hentriacontanoate 1 and an orange red pigment, caulerpin 2 have been isolated and characterised from a red alga Chondria armata. The pigment caulerpin hitherto known to be a constituent of green algae of genus Caulerpa is being reported here for the first time from a red alga.
