Cephalocroton cordofanus seed oil has been examined and found to consist chiefly of cis ‐12:13‐epoxyoleic acid (62%) along with linoleic (17%), oleic (10%), threo ‐12:13‐dihydroxyoleic acid (4%) and saturated acids (7%). The structure of the epoxy acid follows from its identity with the acid from Vernonia anthelmintica seed oil.
