Floridoside is a glycerol glycoside that is biosynthesised by most species of red algae and has been implicated as an intracellular regulator of various homeostatic functions. Here the authors report and characterise previously unforeseen crystal forms of floridoside: an anhydrous polymorph and a crystalline stoichiometric monohydrate.
