A minor constituent of Lycopodium annotinum, this alkaloid has [α]¹⁸_D+ 125° and yields an ultraviolet spectrum in EtOH having a single absorption maximum at 235 mJ.1. It yields a crystalline picrolonate, m.p. 230-1 °C. The structure has been determined from the mass spectrum and by comparison with other Lycopodium alkaloids.
