In this paper a comprehensive phytochemical analysis of the ethanolic extract obtained from a sample of Teucrum polium collected in Southern Iran is reported. Several phenolic components were identified such as flavonoids and phenylethanoid glycosides which together resulted to be the principal components of the extract. In particular, these compounds were cirsilineol (1), apigenin 7-O-rutinoside (isorhoifolin) (2), cirsimaritin (4), diosmetin (5), apigenin (6), cirsiliol (7) and, lastly, poliumoside (3).

This paper reports on the first phytochemical analysis ever performed on Jasminum tortuosum Willd. This analysis, mainly carried out by means of column chromatography separation, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, led to the isolation and the identification of four compounds, namely the lignans ginkgool (1) and olivil-4'-O-beta-glucopyranoside (2) and the secoiridoids oleoside dimethyl ester (3) and oleoside 11-methyl ester (4).
