Abstract
THE resinous secretions and deposits of plants are frequently resolvable into crystalline carboxylic acids, alcohols and phenols of terpenoid or n-propylbenzenoid (C6-C3) structures. Abietic acid and the amyrins are examples of terpenoid occur in many natural orders of plants, but their frequent association with the heartwoods and exuded resins of the Coniferæ is noteworthy. The term ‘lignan’ was introduced1 to include all substances containing this carbon framework, derived from the
