Hibiscus rosa‐sinensis leaves (family Malvaceae) were analyzed for their fatty acid, fatty alcohol, and hydrocarbon contents. Wax hydrocarbons ranging from C 16 to C 32 with C 23 , C 25 , C 27 , and C 31 as major components and wax alcohols between C 21 and C 30 with C 26 , iso‐C 28 , and iso‐C 30 as major components were found to be present in the petroleum ether fraction of the leaves. Fatty acids ranging from C 8 to C 28 with C 8 , C 12 , C 14 , C 16 , and C 18:2 as major components were found in the combined form. Two cyclic acids, sterculic and malvalic, have also been identified.
