Abstract

Following the extraction of a sterol as the non-saponifiable matter from the ether extract of the root of Oenothera lamarckiana Ser., which was assumed to be β-sitosterol, the presence of sterol was examined in four kinds of Oenothera spp., O. odorata Jacp., O. parviflora L., O. lacimata Hill., and O. tetraptera Cav. These plants all yielded the same sterol as that obtained from O. lamarckiana Ser.
