title: Sterols and a glycoside from the flowers of Inula grantioides.
abstract: The flowers of Inula grantioides were analysed for their sterol composition. Chromatographic separation of the acetone extract of the plant material resulted in the isolation of beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and beta-sitosteryl. 11-Hentriacontene, pentariacontene and a saturated hydrocarbon, pentatriacontane, were also obtained for the first time from the flowers of the plant.
