The chemical composition of the leaf resin of Pluchea odorata has been studied from material collected in Tamaulipas, Mexico. It mostly consists of triterpenes and phytosterols and an eudesmane type sesquiterpene. Very small amounts of ten different flavonol aglycones occur, dissolved in this resin; most of them are 6-methoxy compounds. A comparison with previous results on material from El Salvador shows that the latter contains a lesser number of triterpenes and especially of flavonoids, but
