The oil from the spores of commercial Lycopodium, mainly L. complanatum, contains cis-9,10-epoxyoctadecanoic acid (2%), (+)-8-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid (7%), and (±)-threo-9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid (4%). Smaller amounts of 8-oxohexadecanoic acid and an epoxyhexadecanoic acid also seem to be present.
