The structures of the new steroidal saponins (tentatively named YS-XI, -XII and -XIII) have been isolated from the caudex of Yucca gloriosa and characterized as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl 5 beta- (25R)-spirostan-3 beta, 12 beta-diol, 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)- [beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----3)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl 5 beta- (25R)-spirostan-3 beta, 12 beta-diol and 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----2)- beta-D-galactopyranosyl 5 beta-(25R)-spirostan-2 beta,3 beta,12 beta-triol, respectively.
