The seed fat of the Umbelliferous plant Ammi visnaga Linn, has been analysed, and the composition of the fatty acids has been shown to be palmitic acid 5%, petroselinic acid 50%, oleic acid 32%, linoleic acid 13%. This species thus resembles other members of the family Umbelliferae, which are characterized by major proportions of petroselinic acid in the seed fat. The presence of the chromone, khellin, in the seeds has been confirmed.
