Vioque, J. | Pastor J. | Vioque, E.
Leaf wax alkanes in the genus Coincya vary between C22 and C31. This series is dominated by alkanes with an odd number of carbon atoms. The most abundant alkanes are C29, C31 and C27. The main one, C29, ranges from 53.3% in C. monensis subsp. nevadensis to 95.0% in C. monensis subsp. recurvata var. setigera. A positive correlation between the content of C29 and the glaucous character was observed. Likewise, there was a negative correlation between the availability of water and the amount of C29.
