A new nuatigenin-type steroidal saponin, multifidoside (2), was isolated from the aerial parts of Veronica fuhsii and V. multifida and its structure was identified as 3-O-{[α-ʟ-rhamnopyranosyl-( 1→2glu)]-[β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl-(1→4rha)-α-ʟ-rhamnopyranosyl (1→4glu)]-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl}nuatigenin 26-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside. Additionally, a known steroidal saponoside, aculeatiside A (1), from V. fuhsii, a phenylethanoid glycoside, verpectoside A (3), and a flavon glycoside, isoscutellarein 7-O-(2″-O-6″-O-acetyl-β-ᴅ-allopyranosyl-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside) (4) from V. multifida were isolated.
