A new steroidal saponin, named pumilum A (1), and a new phenolic glycoside, threo-1-(4'-hydroxy-2'-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2",4"-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,3-propanediol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the bulbs of Lilium pumilum DC, along with five known steroidal saponins. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis, in...
