Abstract 13‐epi‐9‐desacetylxenicin (2), isoxeniolide‐A (3) and 7, 8‐oxido‐isoxeniolide‐A (4), three novel nine‐membered diterpenoids have been isolated from the alcyonarian Xenia novae‐britanniae . Their structures have been established on the basis of their spectral properties. Structure 2 has been confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analysis.
