The seed oil of Doxantha unguis‐cati was found to have the following fatty acid composition: cis ‐9‐hexadecenoic 64, cis ‐11‐octadecenoic 15, oleic 4, hexadecadienoic 1, linoleic 4, palmitic 12 and stearic <1%. The significance of the unusual fat composition is discussed in relation to biosynthetic mechanisms.
