Pseudolarix is a monotypic genus in the family Pinaceae. The sole species, Pseudolarix amabilis is commonly known as Golden Larch, though it is not a true larch (Larix), being more closely related to Keteleeria, Abies and Cedrus. It is native to eastern China, occurring in small areas in the mountains of southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and eastern Sichuan, at altitudes of 100-1500 m. Golden Larch is sometimes known under an old scientific name Pseudolarix kaempferi, but this may cause confusion with Larix kaempferi, the Japanese Larch.
Two benzoic acid allopyranosides, pseudolaroside A and pseudolaroside B, along with seven known compounds were isolated from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi. Their structures were determined by analysis of HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data, chemical analysis and comparison to the literature data.
