7-O-Methylluteone is a prenylated isoflavone. It can be found in the bark of Erythrina burttii.[1]
The enzyme monoprenyl isoflavone epoxidase uses 7-O-methylluteone, NADPH, H+ and O2 to produce a dihydrofurano pyranoisoflavone derivative, NADP+ and H2O.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
