Koch occur in megaphorb communities in alpine and subalpine areas; both species often share the same habitats. <i>P. ostruthium</i> is used as a spice for spirits, while young shoots of <i>C. alpina</i> are collected in the northeastern regions of Italy as a local delicacy. In the present study, we isolated eleven known coumarins and one chromone from subaerial parts of <i>P. ostruthium</i>; two furanocoumarins were found for the first time in this species. Using UHPLC-HRMS, we analyzed the furanocoumarin content of two <i>P. ostruthium</i> accessions, one commercially purchased and one collected in the wild. These samples were compared to six rootstock samples of <i>Cicerbita alpina</i> collected in the wild.
