Leaves and stems were extracted with hot EtOH and conc in vacuo. Saccharose was separated by crystallization from the concentrate and the residue was chromatographed on Si gel and eluted with C6H6, C6H6-AcOEt, AcOEt, giving: diplopterol (2.7 × 10⁻³⁹ of plant dry wt.), fernenol (3.4 × 10⁻³⁹), sitosterol, the new natural triterpene 6β, 22-dihydroxyhopane (1a, 4.8 × 10⁻⁴⁹) and sitosterol-β-D-glucoside.
