From the seeds of Iris spuria var. halophila, 3 quinones were isolated. On the basis of spectroscopic methods and chemical evidence, the quinones were shown to be primin (2-methoxy, 6-pentyl benzoquinone), dehydroirisoquin (2-hydroxy, 3-octadecenyl, 5-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone) and 2-hydroxy-3-heptadecencyl, 5-methyl, 6-hydroxymethyl, 1,4-benzoquinone.
