An aromatic hydrocarbon, $mp\;79{\sim}80^{\circ},\;C_{11}H_{12}O_5$, was first isolated from Phyllostachys sp. and identified as 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylic and 2'-hydroxyethylmethyl ester. Five compounds isolated after alkali hydrolysis were identified as vanillin, 4-hydroxyacetophenone, terephthalic acid, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and friedelin.
