Abstract Seed from additional species of Cruciferae have been analyzed for crude protein, oil and fatty acids in the oil. Oils were like those reported earlier from other crucifers, except for Cardamine impatiens which is unique among known seed oils because it contains some 25% dihydroxy acids. Erucic acid is present (0.3舑55%) in about three‐fourths of the 102 samples. Eicosenoic acid is a major constituent (32舑53%) in four species and monohydroxy acids (45舑72%) in another four. Linolenic acid occurs (2舑66%) in oil of all species.
