The characteristics of B. nigerica and its fixed seed oil are reported. Fatty acid composition, as determined by gas‐liquid chromatography, was: lauric, 0.24%; myristic, 0.45%; palmitic, 13.18%; stearic, 19.80%; oleic, 20.84%; linoleic, 43.65%; arachidic, 1.14%; and arachidonic, 0.90%. A study of the nonsaponifiable fraction showed it to be rich in sterols. Ergosterol and sitosterol were identified.
