Abstract
Calathea lutea lives in rain forests of Central America. It produces a conspicuous wax coating on the under surface of the leaves. As contribution to the as yet rather poor chemical knowledge on the Marantaceae, the composition of this wax has been analyzed. By GLC and MS it could be shown to consist mainly of odd numbered re-alkanes and even numbered n-alkanols.Keywords
