Dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase (DHBP oxidase) is an enzyme. In the IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature, dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase is EC 1.5.3.12.
Dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase produces oxidized forms of benzophenanthridine alkaloids:
- In Sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot), dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase produces sanguinarine from dihydrosanguinarine, and chelirubine from dihydrochelirubine.
- In Eschscholzia californica (California poppy), dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase produces macarpine from dihydromacarpine.

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.
