  • Zostera geojeensis, a new species from Geojedo Island located on the south coast of Korea, is described and compared with othe rrelated species of Zostera. It is very similar to Z. caespitosa Miki in having congested internodes of rhizomes but differes from that by having obtuse or cuspidate and transparent leaf margins at apices.

  • As a series of the studies on cultivated Korean rhubarb rhizomes (Rheum undulatum), five stilbene derivatives were screened for inhibitory activity against $5{\alpha}-reductase$. Of these, desoxyrhapontigenin, rhapontigenin, and piceatannol exhibited inhibition, whereas, two other stilbene glycosides, rhaponticin and $piceatannol-3'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ did not show the inhibition.

  • A furostanol glycoside, $mp\;190{\sim}198^{\circ}$, was isolated from the MeOH extract of Smilax china rhizomes. The structure was established as a mixture of $26-O-{\beta}-_D-glucopyranosyl-(25R)-22-methoxy-furost-5-en-3\beta,26-diol\;3-O-\alpha-_L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1\rightarrow2)-\beta-_D-glucopyranoside$ and its 22-hydroxy derivative on the basis of spectral data and chemical correlations.
