Abstract: The Paris polyphylla Sm. var. yunnqnensig (Fr.) H-M. was collected near Kunming, Yunnan. Five compounds in dried rhizomes of this species were isolated. Three steroid glycosides were identified as diosgenin 3-0-α-L-rhamno- pyranosyl- (1→2) -[α-L-arabinofuranosyl- (1→4 ) ]- β-D-glucopyranoside (Ⅰ),diosgenin 3- 0 -α-L-rhamnopyranosyl- (1 →4 ) -α-L- rhamnopvranosyl-(1 →4 ) - [α-L-rhamnopyranosyl- (1→2 ) ]- β-D-glucopyranoside (Ⅱ) and diosgenin 3 -0 -α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1- 4 )-α-L-rhmnopyranosyl (1 →2 ) -β-D-glucopyranoside (dioscin) (Ⅲ). β-ecdysone (Ⅳ) 4nd cane sugar. were also identified from this plant.
