One of the numerous alkaloids obtained from the various Lycopodium species,
this base has been found in L. annotinurn L. and L. fawcettii. It forms colourless
crystals and has [α]D - 10° ± 2° (c 1.01, EtOH). One of the nitrogen atoms is
present in a pyridine ring, the other being in the form of an imino group. The
picrate is obtained as prisms from MeOH and has m.p. 229-233°C. | [Uses]
