<i>Bupleurum</i> L. has been widely used in various medical systems as an agent with a wide range of activities. The qualitative composition and content of lipid fraction components of the aerial parts of <i>B. longifolium</i> and <i>B. chinense</i> were elucidated in this work. The available data on the fatty acids (FAs) in <i>Bupleurum</i> plants were compiled and compared with species differentiation in the genus. As a result, the content of FAs in the studied <i>Bupleurum</i> plant species only partially corresponded to the species differentiation and, in some cases, contradicted it. The prognostic value of <i>Bupleurum</i>’s species differentiation for the identification of the potential composition of FAs was insignificant, and it was limited only by particular groups of species. This suggests that a complete phytochemical study of <i>Bupleurum</i> species needs to be conducted to determine the composition of FAs and to identify which species have a similar composition.
