Presence of resveratrol and 3, 4-dihydroxyacetophenone in the Picea genus, Picea Glehnii, and four other kinds of plant leaves was examined and these components were found to be distributed widely in the leaves of Eupicea section plants. The components were isolated in crystalline state. Piceol was found only in Picea Glehnii.
