Abstract :Fatty acid methyl esters in the leaves and flowers of Hypericum lysimachioides var. lysimachioides insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Guttiferae); were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The flowers of H. lysimachioides var. lysimachioides produced unusual 3-hydroxy fatty acids [3-hydroxy- tetradecanoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3-OH-C14:0); and 3-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3-OH-C18:0);], along with other normal fatty acids. Major components were linolenic and palmitic acids for both leaves and flowers.
Keywords : Hypericum lysimachioides var lysimachioides, fatty acid composition, 3 hydroxy fatty acid derivatives
