Abstract

The chemical composition of the flower oils of three Malaysian Plumeria Linn. species, P. acuminata Ait. (white flower), P. rubra Linn. (reddish‐orange flower) and P. rubra Linn. (red flower), were determined by gas chromatography on two columns of different polarity, GC–MS and KovΓ‘ts retention indices. The oil of P. acuminata Ait. (white flower) was made up predominantly of benzyl salicylate (39.0%), benzyl benzoate (17.2%), trans‐nerolidol (10.6%), neryl phenylacetate (10.5%) and linalool (8.9%). Phenylethyl benzoate at 12.3% was the most abundant compound in the oil of P. rubra Linn. (reddish‐orange flower), followed by dodecanoic acid at 11.8% concentration. Hexadecanoic acid constituted 9.3% and 27.2% of the oils of P. rubra Linn. (reddish‐orange flower) and P. rubra Linn. (red flower), respectively. Copyright Β© 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The leaf oils of Baeckea frutescens L., water-distilled from samples obtained from four dierent sites, were analysed by capillary GC and GCΒ±MS. The oils were found to possess some compositional dierences and considerable variation in the levels of each component, suggesting the existence of chemical
