Abstract
Oil and triglyceride contents and fatty acid composition were determin ed for seeds in nine taxa belonging to the genus Coincya (Brassicaceae ) on the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). The oil content range s from 11.1 to 24.6%, triglycerides from 68.7 to 88.5%. The major fatt y acids were erucic (24.6-30.5%), linolenic (17.7-27.7%), linoleic (13 .9-24.6%) and oleic acid (12.3-21.8%).
