Abstract
Saponins are classified in 11 main groups, based on the structure of their carbon skeletons. Fragmentation and decoration (i.e. oxidation, glycosylation) of the carbon skeletons are discussed, in relation to their plant origin. The distribution of skeletons in the plant kingdom, and their decoration, does not seem to be order-specific.
