The diterpenoids are fairly widely distributed in nature. The best known members are the resin acids obtained from the non-volatile portion of many oleoresins, especially those obtained fram conifers. Diteppenoid acids, alcohols, lactones, phenols, and alkaloids have been obtained from a variety of sources. The hydrocarbons are more restricted in occurrence; all are found in New Zealand and all but two (camphorene and cupressene) in endemic species. Their reported occurrences are almost solely limited to countries bordering on the Pacific.
