Tephrosia spinosa is a flowering plant species in the genus Tephrosia native from India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Eupalitin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside, a glycoside of the flavonol eupalitin, can be isolated from T. spinosa.[1] Tephrospinosin (3′,5′-diisopentenyl-2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone), a prenylated chalcone, can be isolated from the root.[2]
