The title compond, C(19)H(24)O(5)·H(2)O, has two gibberellin A4 mol-ecules and two water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The A and B rings have chair conformations, whereas the C and D rings have envelope conformations; the two rings which contain the lactone and carbonyl bridge adopt chair and envelope conformations. The crystal structure is established by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and supported by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
