N2  - .A novel sesquiterpene (1 Z,2R*,4R*,7S*,11S*)-3,3,7,11-tetramethyltricyclo[6.3.0.02,4]undec-1(8)-en-4-ol (3) was isolated from the soft coral Xenia novae-britanniae. Its structure was tentatively deduced by n.m.r. spectroscopy, and the structure with relative stereochemistry was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Investigation of a Xenia species afforded the known metabolite waixenicin -A previously isolated from Anthelia edmondsoni .
