%X Light petroleum extracts of the New South Wales bitter vine, Piptocalyx moorei Oliv., have yielded &#946;-sitosterol, a trace of a red crystalline substance (probably carotenoid), and a new lignan of the &#945;&#945;?-diaryl-&#946;&#946;?-dimethyltetrahydrofuran series whose detailed structure and partial stereochemistry are established by proton magnetic resonance measurements. Methanol extracts have yielded quercitrin and a practically tasteless &#946;-D-glucopyranoside, C17H24O12 ; the aqueous mother liquors remain intensely bitter.
