Saponins from Panax pseudo-ginseng Wall. subsp. pseudo-ginseng Hara collected at Nielamu, Tibet, China.

Abstract
The ginseng dammarane saponin, ginsenoside-Rg1, and the oleanolic acid saponins, chikusetsusaponin-IV and pseudo-ginsenoside-RT1, were isolated in yields of 0.02, 0.15 and 0.04%, respectively, from roots and small rhizomes of Panax pseudo-ginseng Wall. subsp. pseudo-ginseng Hara collected at Nielamu, Tibet. A saponin formulated as 3-O-.alpha.-L-arabinofuranosyl(1 .fwdarw. 4)-.beta.-D-glucuronide of oleanolic acid was also isolated in a partially purified state. The chemotaxonomical significance of the results is discussed.
