Objective To study the phenolic compounds from Sagina japonica. Methods The separation and purification were carried out by silica gel Sephadex LH-20 gel and RP C-18 colomn chromatography. The structures were identified by spectra. Results Nine phenolic compounds were isolated from S. japonica. They were identified asp-E-methoxy cinnamic acid methyl ester (Ⅰ),umbelliferone (Ⅱ),7-methoxy coumarin (Ⅲ),5,7-di-hydroxy coumarin (Ⅳ),5,7-di-methoxy coumarin (Ⅴ),cerarvensin-7-O-glucoside (Ⅵ),5,7,2'-trihydroxy-8-methoxy flavone (Ⅶ),5,7-di-hydroxy-8,2'-di-methoxy flavone (Ⅷ),5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-6-methoxy flavone (Ⅸ).
