Abstract:Rhodiola fastigita is an alpine plant growing at 3300--5400 m above sea level. Seven crystal, compounds were isolated from the rhizome of this plant. They were identified as β- sitosterol, β-sitosterol-3-β-D-galactoside, daucosterol, gallic acid, gallic acid ethyl ester, p-tyrosol and herbacetin-8-arabinoside by IR, MS, H-NMR and chemical method. Daucosterol, β-sitosterol- 3-β-D-galactoside and gallic acid ethyl ester were obtained from the genus Rhodiola L. for the first time.
