Indigofera linnaei, Ali, belonging to the family Fabaceae, is a medicinal plant growing wild in tropical countries. The phytochemical screening and spectral analysis revealed that the two unknown compounds, 5-[(E)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl] benzene-1,3-diol, and Gitoxin belonging to tannols and steroidal glycoside have been isolated from the aerial parts of Indigofera linnaei. The structures of these compounds have been established by spectral data. Both these compounds are reported in this plant for the first time.
