It is also reported that the yellow silk tulip also contains coumarin ferulate ethane, 2-p-coumarin methane, difueryl methane and p-coumarin ferulate methane.
2. Volatile oil
Mainly volatile oil, about 6.1%. Sesquiterpenes were the main compounds in the oil, about 65.5% of which were zingiberenes. Followed by α- and β- Tuaurene; Sesquiterpene alcohol is about 22%.
