Summary The seed of Sebastiana lingustriana have been collected and investigated. They contain about 37% oil, the physical and chemical characteristics of which were determined. Analyses of the component fatty acids were made by interesterification to form esters, which were separated into principally saturated and unsaturated fractions by low temperature crystallization. Each of these fractions was fractionated on a Todd column. The resulting fractions were examined spectrophotometrically and the percentage of each acid was calculated. The oil of Sebastiana lingustrina contains an unusual fatty acid, probably 2,4‐dodecadienoic acid.
