EXPERIMENTAL The reported extraction and purification procedure [l] was repeated on another batch of plant material, 250g. The ether extract was subjected to column chromatographic analysis using SiO, and ether-petrol (= E-P) in increasing order to successively elute the isomeric compounds [l] and lastly with E-P, 1 :l, to get 1. The latter was further purified by preparative TLC on SiO, to yield 56mg, colourless crystals, mp. 128%129”, IR v”,‘,‘;crn-‘: 3450 (OH), 1695, 1600 (coumarin); MS (70eV, direct inlet): M’ m/r 360.157 (2”“) (C 20H 240 6,)’ 342 (3) (M-H,O); 327 (2) (342-‘Me); 302 (4) (MmMe,CO); 271 (25) (M-HOeHC(OH)Me,); 229 (65) (271-C,H,O):

We have very recently characterized four isomeric terpene-coumarin derivatives with the formula C,,H,,0, from the aerial parts of Ethulia conyzoides L. [ 11. This report deals with the isolation and structural elucidation of another major compound, C,,H,,O,, representing a hydrated derivative of the above isomers. Its ‘H NMR (see Table 1) and MS data clearly establish structure 1. The stereochemistry at C-5’ and C-6’, however, has not been determined. The proposed structure was also confirmed through treatment with periodate to afford the
