Surface lipid of pea leaves ( Pisum sativum var. Frosty) was analyzed with column, thin layer and gas liquid chromatography in conjunction with mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. It contained 42% n ‐hentriacontane and 7.3% n ‐hentriacontan‐16‐ol. About 5% was wax esters, C 40 –C 50 consisting of primarily C 26 and C 28 alcohols and C 16 –C 22 acids. Almost 5% was aldehydes, mainly C 26 and C 28 . Primary alcohols, chiefly C 26 and C 28 , made up 20% of the surface lipid.
