3-Undecyl phenol, 6-undecyl salicylic acid and potassium 6-undecyl salicylate were isolated from the New Zealand liverwort Schistochila appendiculata. 3-Tridecyl and 3-pentadecyl phenol, 6-tridecyl and 6-pentadecyl salicylic acid, potassium 6-tridecyl and 6-pentadecyl salicylate and 6-undecyl catechol were also detected in the same species.The chemical constitution of S. appendiculata is quite similar to that of the brown algae Caulocystis species, and of the higher plants Ginkgo biloba and some of the Anacardia species.The allergic reaction brought on by S. appendiculata might be due to the presence of these phenolic compounds.Key Word Index - Schistochila appendiculata; Jungermanniales; Hepaticae; long chain alkyl phenols; 3-undecyl, 3-tridecyl, 3-pentadecyl phenols; 6-undecyl, 6-tridecyl, 6-pentadecyl salicylic acids; potassium 6-undecyl, 6-tridecyl, 6-pentadecyl salicylates; 6-undecyl catechol; allergy; chemosystematics.
