Abstract
Pedilanthus ththymaloides was evaluated as an incessantly renewable an d potential source of hydrocarbons. Extracts were obtained from succes sive extraction of whole plant material with solvents like petroleum e ther (b.p. 60-80 degrees C), benzene (b.p. 80 degrees C) and ethyl ace tate (76-78 degrees C). A white amorphous mixture of hydrocarbons was obtained by elution of the column by petroleum ether (b.p. 60-80 degre es C) which was found to be comparable with gasoline.
