Dodonaea viscosa (L.) Jacq., or Florida hop bush, or seringan lout (Malay), is a shrub that grows to a height of 6 m in the sandy shores of the tropical world, including Asia and the Pacific Islands. The leaves are simple, 7.5-12 cm X 2 cm X 3.6 cm. The fruits are 2 cm long, capsular, and dehiscing to expose one to two black seeds in each lobe (Fig. 72).

Eremophila sturtii R.Br. and Dodonaea attenuata A.Cunn. in western New South Wales (Table IV). Overgrazing by introduced domestic livestock and the relative absence of fire since European settlement are implicated in the development of this situation which, in several respects, resembles that of the Californian. chaparral communities ( ). Allelopathy is a possible contributing factor.

Compounds isolated from Dodonaea viscosa exerted smooth muscle relaxing properties [246]. Among them ent-l5, 16-epoxy-9 H-labdanel3 (16) 14diene-3/3, 8a-diol inhibited the contractions of guinea-pig ileum evoked by acetylcholine, histamine, and barium chloride or electrically induced contractions.

Clerodendrin A, which was isolated as a bitter principle from Clerodendron tricotomum, has been assigned the structure (22) on the basis of an 2f-ray analysis of the p-bromobenzoate-chlorohydrin. The full paper describing additional work on the structure of olearin (23) has appeared. The stereochemistry at all but one centre has been determined and olearin has been interrelated with a diterpenoid of known structure from a Dodonaea species.
