The essential oil composition of Cedrela odorata L. leaves was comprehensively investigated by means of capillary GC and GCยฑMS. Twenty-six constituents were identiยฎed in the volatile oil. Sesquiterpenoids such as a-santalene (9.5%), b-acoradiene (7.1%), b-elemene (6.8%), caryophyllene oxide (6.0%) a

โฆ Synopsis
The very pleasant ( ยฏowery, hay-and tea-like, woody) smelling essential oil of the ยฏowers of Aglaia odorata Lour. (Meliaceae) consists mainly of cadinane derivatives (ca. 48%, including 27% of d-cadinene, 24). A main constituent is muurola-4,10( 14)-dien-1b-ol (4%, 37), accompanied by the new epimeric 1a-alcohol, 54. Methyl jasmonates (4%, 36, 50) obviously make an important odour contribution.

The essential oil of the ยฏowers of Rosa brunonii (Rosaceae) was prepared by hydrodistillation and studied by capillary GCยฑFID and GCยฑMS; 35 constituents were identiยฎed, accounting for 78.4% of the total oil. The essential oil consisted mainly of eugenol (30%), citronellol (2.65%), geraniol (10.5%) a
The leaf oils of Baeckea frutescens L., water-distilled from samples obtained from four dierent sites, were analysed by capillary GC and GCยฑMS. The oils were found to possess some compositional dierences and considerable variation in the levels of each component, suggesting the existence of chemical
The essential oil from the rhizomes of Hedychium gardnerianum Roscoe (`Kahili ginger') contains about 30% of sesquiterpenes, mainly cadinane derivatives. The following new sesquiterpenes were identiยฎed by their NMR and MS data: a-corocalene epoxide (104); 1,10;7,10-bisepoxy-1,10-seco-calamenene (68)
The essential oil of Pulicaria gnaphalodes (Vent.) Boiss. from Iran was investigated by GC, GCยฑMS and NMR spectroscopy. Typical for this oil are pinane [chrysanthenone (23), cis-chrysanthenol (34)], cadinane [cadina-1(10),4-dien-8a-ol (114)] and bisabolane derivatives [nuciferol (118), g-curcumen-12
