This derivative of talatisalnine occurs in both A coniturn soongoricurn Stapf. and A. talassicurn M. Pop. It furnishes colourless crystals when purified by recrystal_x0002_lization from EtOH. The structure has been established from chemical and spectroscopic data and by comparison with talatisamine and other aconitine alkaloids.
