Abstract
Seed oils of five species of the family Santalaceae, not studied previously, were examined to determine the nature of the fatty acid components. An acid (or acids) having a conjugated trans-enyne group was present in all. Species of Buckleya and Thesium had also an enediyne component; those of Geocaulon and Jodina contained a hydroxy acid. Jodina had a large proportion of non-hydroxy C-17 acid. Ximenynic acid was the main component of Santalum yasi oil. Infrared spectra and other data were obtained for six additional species of Santalaceae. The distribution pattern of acetylenic and other fatty acids in this family is discussed in relation to the classification of the genera.
