The three cinnamyl alcohol-vicianosides of rhodiola rosea commonly referred to as "rosavins" are rosin and the structurally related disaccharide Rosavin which is the arabinose ester of rosin, and Rosarin, the arabinofuranose ester of rosin. Salidroside, common in rhodiola spp. and occuring in Rhodiola rosea is not a cinnamyl alcohol glycoside, but a glycoside of tyrosol.
