Abstract
Marsdenia erecta is a plant which grows in Turkey as well as the Near East. Recently some of us1 have studied the morphological and chemical properties of this plant and isolated a glycoside—marsdenin. To identify the sugar contents of this glycoside and compare with the sugars of the other Marsdenia glycosides, we obtained the glycoside, hydrolysed it and identified its sugars by paper chromatography.
