The oil contents of three species of Michelia plants seeds ( Michelia cavaleriei, Michelia sphaer- antha, Michel& chapensis) were determined, and their fatty acids compositions were analyzed by GC. The results indicated that the oil contents of three species of Michelia plants seeds were ranging from 39% to 44%, and Michelia chapensis had the highest oil content, reaching 44%. The major fatty acids of the seed oils from three species of Michelia plants were palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid, and the contents of oleic ...
