Various extractdfractions of the whole plant of Convolvulus microphyllus (Convolvulaceae) were bioassayed by the leaf disc method for feeding deterrence using Spilosoma obliqw Walker as a test insect. A new compound, 29-oxodotriacontanol isolated from the chloroform fraction of this plant was proved
