Abstract: Using multi-site spectroscopic data collected from three sites, the frequencies and pulsational modes of the {\gamma} Doradus star HD 12901 were identified. A total of six frequencies in the range 1-2 c/d were observed, their identifications supported by multiple line-profile measurement techniques and previously-published photometry. Five frequencies were of sufficient signal-to-noise for mode identification and all five displayed similar three-bump standard deviation profiles which were fitted well with (l,m)=(1,1) modes. These fits had reduced chi-squared values of less than 18. We propose that this star is an excellent candidate to test models of non-radially pulsating {\gamma} Doradus stars as a result of the presence of multiple (1,1) modes.<br />Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRAS, 13 September 2012
