Abstract
In recent years several new amino acids have been isolated from members of the family Cucurbitaceae. Now their distribution in seeds of many genera has been determined and the new phytochemical information is examined against the existing classification of this family based mainly upon morphological criteria. The survey revealed that m-carboxyphenylalanine was a constituent of some members of this family, and the natural occurrence of N 4-methylasparagine is recorded for the first time. The presence of numerous other unidentified ninhydrin-reacting compounds was noted.
