A new triterpenoid saponin, geniculatin, has been isolated from the ethanolic extract of Euphorbia geniculata (Euphorbiaceae).The saponin has been identified as 3β-4)-D-xylopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-β-glucoronopyranosyl-(1->3)>-oxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid. - Key Word Index: Euphorbia geniculata; Euphorbiaceae; geniculatin; 3β-4)-D-xylopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-β-glucopyranosyl-(1->3)-oxyolean-12-en-28-oic-acid.
