<i>Tussilago farfara</i>, also known as coltsfoot, is a medicinal plant used to relieve the symptoms of common respiratory disorders. The biological activities of the plant, such as its anti-cancer properties, allows for the use of coltsfoot in the investigation for lung cancer treatments. The leaves and the stem are preferred for collection. There is published research on the compounds found in the leaves, and the stem, thus the purpose of this research is to investigate the chemical properties of the flower. This work presents the compounds that were identified using chromatography and mass spectrometry.
