The oil content and fatty acid composition of the seed oils of Compositae (five species), Goodeniaceae (three species), Liliaceae (three species), Ranunculaceae (three species) and Sapindaceae (three species) were determined. The fatty acid composition of the seed oils were analysed by gas chromatography. In the 17 species studied the seed oil fatty acids were dominated by linoleic acid (50.1–70–5%) followed by oleic (11.1–20–4%) and palmitic acids (9.0–13–3%), except in one species, Diplopeltis huegelii , in which oleic acid (35.1%) predominated.
