Waxes are of considerable commercial importance, as synthetic materials have not been produced at a price that will allow them to compete with the natural substances. The most important natural waxes are camauba from palms of the genus Copernicia, candelilla from Euphorbia antisyphlitica, and sugar cane wax—a by-product of the sugar industry (Schery, 1972). 

Tri-, 1,3,6-tri-, and 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl-p-D-allopyranoses have been extracted frcnn the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana and five new elagitannins containing interlinking xylose or the unusual lyxose residues between polyphenolic units have been isolated from the heartwood of English oak. An unusual tannin with a sugar acid cote is refened to in Chapter 16.
