In a recent article2 we presented complete stereochemical expressions for several sesquiterpene lactones from Ti-thonia diuersifolia Hemsl., viz., tagitinin A, B (= deacetylwoodhousin), C, D (= tirotundin), and E, 3, 4 as well as for some other related compounds. Since formulation of tagitinin E as the heliangolide 1 was based entirely on
