Orchinol is a 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, a type of phenanthrenoid. It can be isolated from infected Orchis militaris and infected Loroglossum hircinum[1] with Rhizoctonia repens.[2] This molecule has a phytoalexin effect. It reduces the growth of Cattleya aurantiaca seedlings[3] and has an antifungal activity.[4]
