Abstract: We examined the chloroform extract of the leaves and inflorescence of Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng collected in the suburb of Kunming, Yunnan, China. Nine colourless crystals were isolated. Five among them were identified to be dotriacontane ( 1 ) , β-sitosterol( 2), stigmasterol (3), taraxasteryl palmitate ( 4 ) , taraxasteryl acetate ( 5 ) by spectroscopic evidences and compa-rison with standard samples.

Key words: Eupatorium adenophorum
