The new hexahydroazulenones hortonones A (1) to C (3) were isolated from the leaves of three representative species of the endemic Sri Lankan genus Hortonia that belongs to the family Monimiaceae. Hortonones A (1) and B (2) have the unprecedented rearranged hortonane sesquiterpenoid carbon skeleton, and hortonone C (3) has the unprecedented rearranged and degraded 13-norhortonane skeleton.
