One new () and six known cycloartane triterpenoids (), along with seven reported abietane diterpenoids (), were isolated from the bark of the branches of , of which compounds were also received for the first time from the genus of . Structural elucidation of all the compounds was carried out by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Additionally, the antifungal activity of isolated compounds - was evaluated by inhibiting the growth of fungal mycelium.
