Carotenoids, the pigments that give plants their yellow, orange, and red colors, become colored, waxy substances when they exist as fatty acid esters within plants. These are called colored waxes. Representative examples include physalien, which are found in the pouch-like persistent calyx that surrounds the fruit of the Chinese lantern plant, and helenien, which are found in the yellow flowers of plants such as the trumpet lily.

植物の黄色,だいだい色,紅色などのもととなる色素であるカロチノイドが,植物内で脂肪酸のエステルとして存在した場合,それは着色した蠟状の物質となる。これを色蠟という。代表的な例としては,ホオズキの果実を包んでいる袋状の宿存萼に存在するフィザリエンphysalienや,ノウゼンハレンなどの黄色系の花に含まれるヘレニエンhelenienなどがある。【内田 安三】
