Seed oils of Carlina corymbosa L. and C. acaulis L. contain cis ‐5‐octadecenoic acid as a major fatty acid (21–24%). This acid has not been previously reported as a constituent of Compositate seed oils. The predominant fatty acid in the Carlina oils is linoleic (50–52%); lesser amounts (≦10% each) of palmitic, stearic and oleic acids are also present. The oil of C. acaulis has almost 2% of cis ‐5‐hexadecenoic acid; C. corymbosa oil includes minor amounts of some oxygenated fatty acids.
