Abstract

Non-phloroglucinol lipophilic compounds of the glandular excrete of Dryopteris assimilis S. Walker have been analyzed from the internal glandular hairs of the rhizome. A relationship between the compounds identified and the lipid droplets visible in electron micrographs of the glandular cytoplast is proposed.
