The seeds of Ixiolaena brevicompta F. Muell. (family Compositae) contained an oil (12%) in which the major fatty acids present are palmitic (7%), stearic (5%), oleic (8%), linoleic (51%) and crepenynic ical and physical methods. The bioactivity of crepenynic acid is discussed with respect to extensive mortalities of sheep grazing on mature seeded I. brevicompta .
