Two new aliphatic compounds namely 32-hydroxyheptatetracontan-21, 24-dione (A2) and oc tacosan-7, 19-di ol (A3) along with hentriacontane (A1) have been isolated from the hexane soluble extract of the shoots of the medicinal plant Crinum defixum. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical studies.
