"Pharbitic acid" (I), the component glycosidic hydroxyfatty acid of pharbitin, was found to be a mixture of two minor and two major constituents, pharbitic acids A, B, C (II) and D (III). II and III were isolated by silica gel chromatography of their p-phenyl phenacyl esters and subsequent saponification. II, mp 120-129°, [α]
