Three new isoflavonoids, eryvarins M–O ( 1 – 3 ), two new 2‐arylbenzofurans, eryvarins P and Q ( 4 and 5 ), and a new 3‐aryl‐2,3‐dihydrobenzofuran, eryvarin R ( 6 ), together with three known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Erythrina variegata. The structures of these compounds were established by spectroscopic analysis. Eryvarin R ( 6 ) is an unusual 3‐aryl‐2,3‐dihydrobenzofuran derivative with a formyl (CHO) group. Eryvarin Q ( 5 ) showed potent antibacterial activity against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
