A new triterpene alcohol is isolated from tea ( Thea sinensis , Theaceae) seed oil, and its structure is shown to be 5α‐tirucalla‐7,24‐dien‐3β‐ol. This triterpene alcohol is considered to be a possible biogenetic precursor to the meliane and meliacan series of oxygenated triterpenes. Gas liquid chromatographic and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic correlations between euphane and tirucallane series triterpenes also are discussed.
