✦ Synopsis
The essential oils of leaves and ¯owers of Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) from Cameroon and Madagascar were analysed by GC±FID and GC±MS. The oils are characterized by a high percentage of sesquiterpenes. The major components in the oils from Cameroon are ar-curcumene (25%), b-caryophyllene (13%) and caryophyllene epoxide (7%), while the main components of the oil from Madagascar are davanone (15%) and b-caryophyllene (12%). The monoterpenes percentages are lower in the two essential oils and are represented by sabinene (1±9%), a-pinene (2±4%), 1,8-cineole (1±3%) and linalool (1±3%). A comparison with the composition of various essential oils of L. camara with dierent origin will also be given. Copyright
