title: [Studies on the chemical constituents of flowers of Prunus mume].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of flowers of Prunus mume.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were separated by silica gel. Their structures were identified and elucidated by spectral analysis and chemical methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight compounds were obtained and identified as benzoic acid (I), isorhamnetin (II), quercetin (III), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (IV), isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (V), isoquercitrin (VI), hypericin (VII) and rutin (VIII).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Among them, II-VII are isolated from this plant for the first time.
