Summary
A new enantiomeric sesquiterpene alcohol named (−)-maalian-5-ol was isolated from the liverwort, and the structure and absolute configuration was determined to be the stereostructureI by chemical and spectral evidence.

At our laboratory (−)-bicyclogermacrene were isolated from the following liverworts,Porella densifolia, Plagiochila semidecurrens, Lepidozia vitrea, Riccardia jackii, etc. (unpublished data).
