The chemical constituents of Selaginella tamariscina were studied. From the n-hexane, chloroform and n-butanol soluble fractions, three compounds were isolated by chromatographic purification process. They were identified as lutein, $3{\beta}-cholesterol$ and hinokiflavone by spectral anaylsis(IR, MS, UV, $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$ and DEPT). Lutein and $3{\beta}-cholesterol$ were first isolated compounds from Selaginellaceae and hinokiflavone was a reported compound from this plant.

Four compounds, (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), myricitrin (3), and hinokiflavone (4), were isolated from the needles of Juniperus occidentalis Hook. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by NMR and MS spectrometer. The antioxidant activity of the isolated compounds was determined by measuring free radical scavenging activity with DPPH and the results indicated that compound 1, 2, and 3 showed better activity than the controls, while compound 4 had weak activity compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, BHT, and curcumin.
