title: A new acorane sesquiterpene from Lysionotus pauciflorus.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the chemical constituents of the whole plant of Lysionotus pauciflorus
  
  
  METHODS
  Chromatographic separations on silica gel, Toyopearl HW-40F gel, and MCI gel were used to isolate the compounds. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three compounds were obtained and their structures were identified as 3, 10-dihydroxyacoronene (1), bis(2-butylhexyl)phthalate (2) and 3, 5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-trans-stilbene (3).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compound 1 is a new acorane sesquiterpene, this is the first report of acorane sesquiterpenes from the Lysionotus genus.
