Abstract The n ‐hexane extracts of Myristica cagayanensis Merr. was partitioned between n ‐hexane and 85% ethanol. Triglyceride of myristic acid was the major constituent in the upper layer. Four crystalline compounds were isolated from the lower layer, one of which, C 20 H 13 O 5 , was tentatively assigned, from the spectroscopic data and chemical behaviour, as 2‐isopropyl‐3‐(3′, 4′‐methylenedioxy‐phenyl)‐4, 5‐methylenedioxy‐indanone‐1, or 2, 3‐dimethyl‐4‐(3′, 4′‐methylenedioxyphenyl)‐5, 6‐methylenedioxy‐tetralone‐1.
