Four steroids have been isolated from the subterranean parts of Smilax nipponica Miquel (Liliaceae). The structures of these compounds were characterized on the basis of chemical and speectral data. They were $\beta$-sitosterol, $\beta$-sitosterol-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, neotigogenin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and a new steroidal saponin designated as smilanippin A which was elucidated as neotigogenin-3-O-$\beta$-D-fucopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranos ide.

Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora (Rosaceae) is a deciduous. latifoliate shrub growing in most parts of Korea. The roots of this plant have been used for malaria, as antipyretics and emetics. From the roots of this plant, sterol glycoside and two triterpenoids were isolated and the structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods. They were identified as $3{\beta}-hydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oic$ acid (ursolic acid.1), $2{\alpha}$, $3{\beta}$, $19{\alpha}-trihy-droxyurs-12-ene-28-oic$ acid (tormentic acid.2) and ${\beta}-sitoste-rol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (3).
