Some Schilloideae plants, such as Urginea scilla are well known to contain cardiac glycosides. We have studied 21 species of this subfamily and isolated many kinds of steroidal glycosides, but have not found any cardiac glycoside.

The homoisoflavanones belong to a small family of natural products whose first member was isolated by Boehler and Tamm in 1967 from bulbs of Eucomis bicolor Bak. (9). Their discovery resulted from a systematic chemical analysis of Liliaceae for cardiac glycosides. However, unlike the botanically closely related Urginea maritima (L.) Bak. (Squill) and some species of Scilla, Ornithogalum and Dipcadi 33), Eucomis plants did not contain even traces of these compounds.
