Jane: Perhaps you wish to check for "primeverose"
Primeverose - Merriam-Webster
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/primeverose
a crystalline disaccharide C11H20O10 obtained by hydrolysis of primeverin, primulaverin, and other glycosides that yields glucose and xylose on hydrolysis.

SPIRAEIN, an amorphous glucose derivative, present in the roots
of Spircea kamtschalica and S. Ulmaria, is hydrolysed to glucose and
salicylaldehyde by acids but not by emulsin. It is therefore not
identical with helicin. However, the enzyme gaultherase hydrolyses
it, suggesting that, like gaultherin (see p. 13), it is a derivative of
primeverose and not of glucose.
