The First Biflavone Found in Liverworts and Other Phenolics and Terpenoids from Chandonanthus hirtellus ssp. giganteus and Plagiochila asplenioides

A biflavone was isolated from a liverwort (Chandonanthus hirtellus ssp. giganteus) for the first time. Its structure was determined as dicranolomin. Moreover luteolin and the new compound vanillic acid-4-O-neohesperidoside were identified from this Chandonanthus species. From Plagiochila asplenioides we isolated the new sesquiterpenoid (-)-gymnomitr-8(12)-en-9β-ol with chair conformation of the cyclohexane ring together with plagiochiline P and the diterpenoid anadensin, both new to this liverwort
