Several unique characters are observed in Huperzia, such as movement of the gene ndhF from the small single copy region into the inverted repeat [1].
Three new lycopodium alkaloids, 11alpha-hydroxyphlegmariurine B (2), 7alpha-hydroxyphlegmariurine B (3) and 7alpha,11alpha-dihydroxyphlegmariurine B (4) along with a known compound, phlegmariurine B (1), were isolated from the herb Huperzia serrata [2].
