Seeds from 50 species belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae, subfamilies Alsinoideae, Silenoideae, and Spergulaceae, were surveyed in a search for new sources of γ‐linolenic acid (GLA) having low levels of other interfering PUFA and therefore appropriate for GLA purification. It was detected mainly in Alsinoideae species, with a maximum of 15.6% of total FA in Minuartia laricifolia subsp. ophiolitica . Different amounts of stearidonic acid (18∶4n−3) were present in the Alsinoideae species, ranging from undetectable levels in seven species to 3.30% of total FA in Stellaria media . An ANOVA showed a taxonomical correlation between GLA percentages and the genus/subfamily within this family.
