Abstract
A new phenylpropanoid glycoside, α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-1-O-caffeoyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) along with two known phenylethanoid glycosides (2–3) has been isolated from the aerial parts of Leucas indica Linn. Their structures were deduced from the spectroscopic studies and compared with the literature values.
