Cimifugoside (30), from the roots of Cimifuga simplex, is closely related to actein. It is converted into cimifugenin A (31) on treatment with acetic acid. Cycloswietenol (32), from the heartwood of Swietenia mahogani, has a novel methylation pattern in the side-chain. The C34 triterpenoid methyl ether... 

As the relative proportions of the woody components vary only within narrow ranges for common commercial species, the EMCs at a given relative humidity and temperature are closely similar for these woods. However, at high relative humidities deviations from mean values can appear. Shubin s data (1990) show, for instance, that at 95% relative humidity the EMC at 42.4°C ranges from 22% for a pine to 33% for an oak. Hoadley (1980) notes that in species with a high extractives content, such as redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), the fibers remain saturated at 22%-24% moisture content, whereas birch (Betula spp.) may have a moisture content up to 35% at fiber saturation.
