Abstract: Four compounds were isolated and elucidated from the bark of Schima wallichii (DC) Korthals. On the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidences, the structures of four com-pounds were established as 2-spinasterol (A), a spinasterol glycoside (B), epicatechin (C) and a new tritepenoid saponin (D). The structure of D evidences as 2-O-angelic acid ester-A1-barrigenol-3-O [α-L-rhamnopyransyl (l→ 2)] [β-D-glucopyranosyl (→ 2)-β-D-galacto-pyranosyl (l→4)]-β-D- glucuronopyranoside.

Key words: Schima wallichii
