1. Subject and source Phlomis crinita (Cav.) was collected from Djebel El-Ouach, Constantine, Algeria at an altitude of 800 m in May 2000. The plant material was authenticated by Mr. Kamel Kabouche (Constantine) and a voucher specimen (LOST/ZKAK Pc 05/ 00) was deposited at the Herbarium, Faculty of Sciences, University MentouriConstantine and at the Muse´e Botanique de la Ville d’Angers, France (ANG-NA-01).

3. Present study As part of our phytochemical studies on medicinal plants growing in North Algeria (Kabouche et al., 2003; Benkiki et al., 2003), we report here from P. crinita (fam. Lamiaceae) a phenylethanoid glycoside, verbascoside (1) and three known flavonoids namely, luteolin (2), luteolin 7-b-D-glucopyranoside (3) and chrysoeriol 7-(3$-p-E-coumaroyl)-b-D-glucopyranoside (4) which is reported for the second time from a Phlomis species. It was earlier isolated from Phlomis lychitis (Toma´s et al., 1986) but some protons are not well assigned. The corrected NMR elucidation of the compound (4) is reported here and the corrected NMR values and other spectral data are given below. Air-dried and powdered aerial parts of P. crinita were macerated in a methanolic solution (70%). The residue was filtered, concentrated, then successively extracted with petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The ethyl acetate extract was concentrated and column chromatographed on silica gel G-60 with EtOAcecyclohexane. The major fraction was concentrated and purified by prep. TLC on silica gel 60F with a gradient of EtOAcecyclohexane with increasing polarity leading to apigenin, luteolin and luteolin 7-O-b-D-glucopyranoside which spectral data (UV, MS, NMR) were in accordance with the literature data. The butanolic extract was concentrated and column chromatographed on silica gel G-60 with a gradient of EtOAceMeOH with increasing polarity leading to verbascoside (1) and chrysoeriol 7-(3$-p-E-coumaroyl)glucopyranoside (4). The verbascoside (1) structure was identified according to the literature data (Andary et al., 1982) and its structure was confirmed by its peracetylation using acetic anhydride in the presence of anhydrous pyridine affording the nonacetyl verbascoside (5) as an amorphous powder [a]20 D Z ÿ56 (c Z 1, CHCl3) which spectral data were in accordance with the literature. The flavonoids were purified on Sephadex LH-20. For each flavonoid, UV analysis was carried out in several systems according to the literature procedure (Mabry et al., 1970; Markham, 1982). 1H NMR (d [ppm], J [Hz]) and 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 300 MHz and 75 MHz, respectively, using a Bruker AC-300 spectrometer. Multiple-pulse 2D NMR experiments (1He1H COSY, 1He1H NOESY, 13Ce1H HETCOR, and 13Ce1H COLOC) were performed using standard Bruker microprograms. Column chromatographies were carried out with silica gel 20e45 mm. Flash column chromatographies were conducted using silica gel 60 Merck (35e70 mm). The proton NMR spectrum of the compound (4) showed similar signals reported in the structure elucidation of chrysoeriol 7-(3$-p-E-coumaroyl)-b-D-glucopyranoside isolated from Phlomis lychnitis (Toma´s et al., 1986) except in the attribution of the signal of H-3 which appeared at 7.0 ppm, as reported from other similar structures, instead of 5.925 ppm reported from P. lychnitis. We must also notice the

second error observed in the previous paper where the H-3#$/H-5#$ and the H-2#$/H6#$ signals belonging to the caffeic moiety are inverted. In addition to 1H NMR and 13 C NMR, the 2D NMR experiments 13Ce1H permitted us to confirm the resonance of the proton H-3 as a singlet at 7.0 ppm. The ESC mass spectrum of the compound showed a molecular ion at m/z 609 [M C H]C corresponding to the molecular formula C31H28O13 chrysoeriol 7-(3$-p-E-coumaroyl)-b-D-glucopyranoside (4). OMe 3'''

4. Chemotaxonomic significance The genus Phlomis (Lamiaceae) comprises some 250 species and subspecies widely distributed in China (60 species), Ex-URSS (54 species) and Turkey (45 species). Four species grow in Northern Algeria: a Mediterranean species, Phlomis herba-venti and three endemic species namely, Phlomis bovei, Phlomis caballeroi and P. crinita (Quezel and Santa, 1963). Its the first time that an Algerian Phlomis species is studied. The most interesting isolated flavonoid from this endemic species, chrysoeriol 7-(3$-p-E-coumaroyl)-b-D-glucopyranoside is isolated for the second time from a Phlomis species, it was earlier reported from P. lychnitis (Toma´s et al., 1986) but flavonoids p-coumaroyl glucosides, in general, appear to be characteristic of the genus Phlomis and also of some related genus such as Ballota, Marrubium,

Sideritis, Galeopsis and Stachys (Toma´s-Barbera´n et al., 1992). The genus Phlomis seems to be rich in phenylethanoid glycosides e.g. verbascoside which has been reported from 14 species namely, Phlomis monocephala and Phlomis carica (Yalcin et al., 2003), Phlomis sintenisii (Calis et al., 2002), Phlomis chimerae (Ersoz et al., 2001a), Phlomis grandiflora var. fimbrilligera and Phlomis fruticosa (Ersoz et al., 2002a), Phlomis sieheana (Ersoz et al., 2002b), Phlomis longifolia var. longifolia (Ersoz et al., 2001b), Phlomis tuberosa L. (Ersoz et al., 2001c), Phlomis samia (Kyriakopoulou et al., 2001), Phlomis aurea (Kamel et al., 2000), Phlomis bourgaei Boiss. (Harput et al., 1999), Phlomis grandiflora var. grandiflora (Takeda et al., 1999) and Phlomis armeniaca (Saracoglu et al., 1995).
