Abstract
In this paper we provide a characterization of structural equigeodesics on generalized flag manifolds with second Betti number b 2(G / K) = 1, and give examples of structural equigeodesics on generalized flag manifolds of the exceptional Lie groups F 4, E 6 and E 7 with three isotropy summands.
