Abstract

Oil from one of the two species ofAnemone investigated contained 20% of γ-linolenic acid but the other had none. Linoleic acid was the major component in both oils. Four of the five species ofRanunculus produced oil containing 2% to 4% of a component identified in one sample ascis-7,cis-10-hexadecadienoic acid. Major components were linoleic and linolenic acids.
