Abstract: Fourteen compounds have been obtained from the Elsholtzia ciliata (Thund.) Hyland. Their structures were identified by spectral and chemical methods as following: Ⅰ. 6-methyl-tritriacontane, Ⅱ. 13-cyclohexyl-hexoacosane, Ⅲ. β-sitosterol, Ⅳa. palmitic acid, Ⅳb. linoleic acid, Ⅳc. linolenic acid, Ⅴ. ursolic acid, Ⅵ. 5-hydroxy--6, 7-dimethoxyflavone, Ⅶ. 5-hyd-foxy-7, 8-dimethoxyflavone, Ⅷ. 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone, Ⅸ. 5-hydroxy-7,4'-dime-thoxyflavone, Ⅹ.β-sitosterol-β-D-glucoside, Ⅺ. 5-hydroxy-6-methylflavanone-7-O-α-D-galacopy-ranoside, Ⅻ. acacetin-7-O-β-glucoside. Among all the compounds, Ⅺ is a new compound. Except for Ⅳb and Ⅳc, the other twelve compounds were first found in this plant.

Key words: Elsholtzia ciliata (Thunb.) Hyland, 5-hydroxy-6-methylflavanone-7-O-α- D-galacopyranoside, 5-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyf!avone, acacetin-7-O-β-glucoside
