Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz., Brassicaceae (falseflax, linseed dodder, or gold-of-pleasure) originated in the Mediterranean to Central Asia. It is an annual or winter annual that attains heights of 30 to 90 cm tall. Camelina seeds contain more than 40% oil and its fatty acid composition is similar to flaxseed oil with a high content of linolenic (about 38%), linoleic (about 16%) and oleic (about 19%) acids.

Moringa (oleifera) is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Moringaceae. It contains 13 species from tropical and subtropical climates that range in size from tiny herbs to massive trees. The seeds have attracted scientific interest as M. oleifera seed kernels contain a significant amount of oil (up to 40%) with a high-quality fatty acid composition (oleic acid > 70%) and, after refining, a notable resistance to oxidative degradation .

Crambe abbessynica. Erect, annual branched cruciferous herb, up to 1-2 m tall depending on season and plant density, branching mostly in the upper half.Oil conten is 25-33% with hulls. More drought tolerant than corn and canola. Oil content of the grain has been shown to vary from 36-43% with a Erucic Acid content of the oil ranging from 55-60%.
Copaifera Langsdorfii (The diesel tree)Evergreen tree to 35 m tall, to 1 m in diameter, otherwise rather resembling Copaifera officinalis. In Argentina (Territorio de Misiones) it is 6-12 m tall, with paripinnate glabrous, subcoriaceous leaves 5-10 cm long; The resin contains up to 15% volatile oil; the remaining materials are resins and acids. One tree can yield up to 40 litre.
Pongamia pinnata (L.) (Millettia pinnata) has also been called Derris indica (Lam.) and Pongamia glabra , all of these three names are still commonly found in literature. According to Lewis (1988), this species may eventually be transferred to genus Millettia. Pongamia pinnata is one of the few nitrogen fixing trees (NFTS) to produce seeds containing 30-40% oil.
Croton megalocarpus. Is a tropical/subtropical tree that grows to 15-35 m; it has distinctive layering of branches and a rather flat crown. Bark dark grey, rough, and crackling. Hardy and fast growing. Leaves variable, long, oval and pointed to about 12 cm.The nut itself has multiple uses but most well-known is the oil, used to make biofuel or biodiesel.[6] Croton seeds contain approximately 30% oil and a high protein content of 30%. Byproducts from the oil include croton seedcake that can be used in animal feeds due its high protein content. The husks of the nut are processed into fertilizer or as a biomass.
Cuphea is native to the New World, from Southern U.S. to Northern South America. Most are herbaceous annuals that will grow in many locations. However, Cuphea is only a few years from the wild and still has the characteristics of a wild plant. Oil content of the seeds is about 30%. Oil composition comes close to that of palmoil and coconut oil.
Xanthoceras sorbifolium is native to Northern China and grows about 8 meter tall. Seeds look like small chestnuts and are edible. The seed and capsule combined has 40% oil content. Seed alone has 72%.
Castor (Ricinus communis) is a fast growing ever-green tropical/subtropical shrub that produces seeds with a high oil content (35-55%).Cold pressing yields 30-36% oil measured by weight. Warm pressing (>70°C) yields 38-48%.It is usualy grown as an annual crop.
Cocos nucifera. Coconut palms are grown widely in coastal area's. Copra, the dried kernel is the chief commercial product from coconut, which is mainly used for oil extraction. Copra normally has an oil content varying from 65 to 72 per cent.
Calophyllum inophyllum L.(Nyamplung ) is one of many plants in Indonesia which has big potential to become biodiesel feedstock because of its high seed oil content[. The seed oil content in C. inophyllum is in range of 40- 75% (dry weight basis), higher than Jatropha seed oil content (40-60%) and rubber seed oil content (40-50%).
