Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of the white flowers of Plumeria rubra L. (syn. Plumeria acuminata W.T.Aiton) afforded a mixture of lupeol (1), α-amyrin (2) and β-amyrin (3) in about 8:2:1 ratio. The structures of 1-3 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with those reported in the literature.
