✦ Synopsis

Red seaweeds in the genus Laurencia may be classified into four lineages according to the stereochemical features of their metabolites, i.e. the known obtusam: (like obtusol (+)-1), isoobtusane (like isoobtusol (+)-2) and rogiolane (like rogiolol (-)-3) and -structurally revised and renamed here -cartilaginea~ chamigren¢ sesquitetpcms (like cartilagin¢ol 10). in a vision that encompasses also biogenetic descendants, like cuparane sesquiterpenes, and fits ideas of historical contingency.
