Analysis of seed oils from 29 species of the family Boraginaceae revealed widespread occur‐rence of 6,9,12‐octadecatrienoic and C18 noncon‐jugated tetraenoic acids in addition to linolenic and other common C16 and C18 acids. The 6,9,12‐octadecatrienoic acid ranged in amount from 0‐27%, tetraene from 0‐17%, and linolenic acid from 0.3‐50%. Iodine values of the oils ranged from 88‐225.
