Abstract
Abstract The distribution pattern of hydrocarbons in the surface waxes of five species of Euphor biaceae, E.caducifolia, E.helioscopia, E.milii, E.royleana and E.tirucalli was studied. In addition to homologous series of n-alkanes, minor quantities of unsaturated and branched hydrocarbons were also detected. Some of the branched chain hydrocarbons could be explained as having originated from isoprene units and the substituents corresponding to diterpenes and triterpenes.
