The seeds of seven Hibiscus (Malvaceae) species, viz., H. surattensis, H. vitifolius, H. hirtus, H. punctatus, H. zeylanicus, H. micranthus and H. solandra , contained 13–17% oil. Linoleic acid predominated (43.9–67.6%) in the component fatty acids of all the oils, followed by palmitic (15.1–30.1%) and oleic acids (5.9–24.8%), while malvalic, sterculic, dihydrosterculic and epoxy acids were present in small concentrations (1.7–8.4, 0.6–3.9, trace‐2.1, trace‐0.5%, respectively).
