Two triterpene saponins have been isolated from the inflorescences of Verbascum nigrum. Their structures were determined by chemical and spectral methods as 3-O-([α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-(β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-be ta-D-glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-fucopyranosyl)-13β,28-epoxyolean-11-ene-3β,23-diol and 3-O-([α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-(β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D- glucopyranosyl]-(1→2)-β-fucopyranosyl)-11-methoxy-olean-12-en e-3β,23,28-triol.
