C12H17NO6 271.269 Found in Adenia globosa and Tetrapathaea tetrandra. 

Tetraphyllin A (71) (mp 116° to 118°C, [a] -14.0°) was first isolated in a crystalline form from Tetrapathaea tetrandra (Passifloraceae) (104). The structure of this compound, determined from spectroscopic evidence derived from itself and its derivatives, was similar to that of deidaclin (70). These two cyanogens were shown to be epimers to each other by NMR spectral studies (110, 113). The stereochemistry at the chiral centers of these compounds was determined by X-ray chrystallography to be (i ) in deidaclin and (S) in tetraphyllin A, respectively (54).
