A major constituent fatty acid (31.2%) from Calea urticaefolia (Mill.) DC. seed oil is the previously unknown trans ‐3, cis ‐9, cis ‐12‐octadecatrienoic acid. The oil also contains 2.2% of an unidentified acid and others with gas‐liquid chromatographic characteristics that correspond to the conventional fatty acids: myristic, 0.1%; palmitic, 9.3%; stearic, 2.9%; oleic, 5.3%; and linoleic, 48.9%.
