The seed lipids of three species of Entandraphragma (Meliaceae) contain the largest proportion (31–50%) of cis ‐vaccenic acid ever found in nature. The acid is not indicative of the family as a whole and is found as a major fatty acid in the seed of only one additional species, besides Entandraphragma , out of the 30 analyzed from this family. With the total oil comprising between 45 and 62% of Entandraphragma seed, these species should be considered as a source of undecadioic acid for the production of nylon 11.
