The aerial parts of two subspecies of Centaurea aspera L. (Asteraccae) yielded the germacranolides 1a h, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the elemane derivatives 6d and 6f, the lignan matairesinol, the degraded terpene loliolide, and the onopordopicrin valine dimeric adduct 7. From these, compounds le, 3 and 6d are natural products. The chemical composition of the two Subspecies is very similar, a circumstance which does not support a taxonomic subdivision of the species.
