Analysis of Extractables from One Euphorbia. 

 -  Journal of the American Oil Chemistry Society, 56, p.957-960, 1979 .
<br/><br/> Chemical analyses have been made of the heptane extractable material of Euphorbia lathyris, a plant which has been proposed as an "energy farm" candidate. The heptane extract is 4-5 percent of the dry plant weight and has a heat value of ~ 18 x 103 BTU/lb. This reduced photosynthetic material consists almost entirely of polycyclic triterpenoids.
