Abstract: Eleven compounds were isolated from the fruits of Gardenia jasminoides  var.radicans by different chromatographic methods,and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic characteristics and identified as Z-methyl-6-OXD-Z,4-heptadienoic acid-O-β-D-gentiobioside(1),jasminoside O (2),3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (3),5-hydroxymethyl furfural (4),(5R, 2E)-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-hepta-2-ene-1,6-dione (5),1-O-p-coumaroy1-β-D-glucopyranose (6), 6,7-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid (7),10-O-E-p-coumaroyl geniposidic acid (8),6″-O-trans-cinnamoyl genipin gentiobioside (9),syringaresinol (10) and pinoresinol (11).All the eleven compounds were isolated from the fruits of G. jasminoides for the first time.
