In the title compound (systematic name: 2,3‐dimethoxy‐10‐oxostrychnidinium 2‐carboxy‐6‐nitrophthalate dihydrate), C 23 H 27 N 2 O 4 + ·C 8 H 4 NO 6 − ·2H 2 O, the carboxylic acid and carboxylate groups of the hydrogenphthalate anions form head‐to‐tail catemeric chains of strong intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [O⋯O distance = 2.563 (5) Å] along the 2 1 screw axes parallel to the a axis. The chains further associate with the water molecules, forming sheet structures parallel to (010). The protonated N atom at the 19‐position of the brucine molecule forms a peripheral intermolecular hydrogen bond with the carboxylate group of the anion.
