The seed oils of the species Bombax sessile and Lupinus termis have been examined in detail and their fatty acid composition determined. The former has a composition closely resembling that of palm oil, while the latter resembles other members of the Papilionaceae in that it contains minor quantities of linolenic acid and also of higher saturated fatty acids.
