The flavonoid and xanthone constituents of Swertia randaiensis HAYATA (1) and S. swertopsis MAKINO (2) were examined. A new xanthone O-glycoside, named norswer tianolin (VII), C19H<18>O<11>, mp 265° (decomp.), was isolated from 1. The hydrolysis of VII with diluted acid produced desmethylbellidifolin (V) and glucose. The position of sugar bonding was proved to be on 1-position since, methylation of VII with diazome thane and subsequent hydrolysis afforded 1-hydroxy-3, 5, 8-trimethoxyxanthone. The structure of VII was therefore found to be desmethylbellidifolin-1-O-glucoside. From 2, norswertianin (I), swertianin (II), methylswertianin (III), decussatin (IV), methylbellidifolin (VI), isovitexin (IXa), homo-orientin (XIa), and mangiferin (XVa) were isolated and identified.
