BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ORGANIC ACIDS IN HIGHER PLANTS 



by 



M. L. Buch 



Scientific interest in the organic acids of higher plants has prompted a 

 searoh of the literature and tabulation of these acids and their occurrences 

 with available literature references. 



Non-volatile* non-nitrogen-containing, carboxylic acids whose structure 

 is generally accepted (i^) (272) are included. Fatty acids and long chain 

 polymers such as pectins are excluded, as are compounds which contain a sugar 

 group as part of the molecule. Thus carboxylic sapogenins are included but 

 saponins are not. The acids reported are those which are found in the free 

 state or as salts, not as esters. 



Plants are listed by family, genus and species. The family name follows 

 the system given by Willis (799)> as do genus and species when possible. Only 

 spermatophyba are included. 



Journal abbreviations and listings are, so far as possible, those used by 

 Chemical Abstracts. All titles are in English. 



This review covers all available publications through 195^4* Only a limited 

 number of references have been included from more recent literature.
