✦ Synopsis

The leaf essential oils of ten species of Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) naturalized in Rwanda were analysed by GC and GC±MS coupling on two capillary columns of dierent polarity (OV101 and Carbowax 20 M). About 60 compounds have been identi®ed. The major constituents of these oils are widespread monoterpenes (pinenes, 1,8-cineole, limonene, piperitone, terpinyl acetate, etc.: 65.3±99.1%), except for E. fastigata Deane & Maiden oil, which contains mainly sesquiterpenes (56.5%) of which the eudesmols (37.0%) make a large contribution.
