Key Word Index - Costus speciosus; Costaceae; rhizomes; tetradecyl 13-methylpentadecanoate; tetradecyl 11-methyltridecanoate; 14-oxotricosanoic acid; 14-oxoheptacosanoic acid; 15-oxooctacosanoic acid; 5α-stigmast-9(11)-en-3β-ol; diosgenin; sitosterol; triacontanol; triacontanoic acid. Five new compounds, isolated from the rhizomes of Costus speciosus have been characterized as tetradecyl 13-methylpentadecanoate, tetradecyl 11-methyltridecanoate, 14-oxotricosanoic acid, 14-oxoheptacosanoic acid and 15-oxo-octacosanoic acid by spectral and chemical studies.Triacontanol, 5α-stigmast-9(11)-en-3β-ol, triacontanoic acid, sitosterol and diosgenin have also been isolated and identified.
