Abstract
The distribution of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) was studied in the seed oil of six Cape Verdian Boraginaceae. The GLA ranges from trace levels in the three Heliotropum surveyed to 22.2% on saponifiable oil in Echium stenosiphon . All Echium species had GLA percentages in their seed oil around 20%. Echium seeds yield saponifiable oil from 15.8% ( E. stenosiphon ) to 17.3% ( E. hypertropicum ).
