The dichloromethane extract of the air-dried leaves of Ardisia cf. elliptica (subgenus Tinus) afforded mixtures of α-amyrin (1a), β-amyrin (1b) and bauerenol (1c), while Ardisia pyramidalis leaves yielded spinasterol (2) and spinasteryl acetate (3). The mixtures of triterpenes (1a-1c) at ratios of 1...
