A C 20 homolog of vernolic acid has been found at the 50% level in Alchornea cordifolia , Euphorbiaceae, seed oil. This new acid, (+) cis ‐14,15‐epoxy‐ cis ‐11‐eicosenoic (alchornoic) acid, was isolated by high‐pressure liquid chromotography and characterized by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, optical rotary dispersion, and ozonolysis‐gas‐chromotography.
