Benzoquinone is a quinone with a single benzene ring, of which there are only two:

1,4-Benzoquinone, most commonly (also para-benzoquinone, p-benzoquinone, para-quinone, or just quinone)

1,2-Benzoquinone, less commonly (also ortho-benzoquinone, o-benzoquinone, ortho-quinone)

It has been found in the rhizomes of Iris kemaonensis.
