Abstract

The oil from leaves of Salvia guaranitica Benth. accessions from southern Brazil obtained by hydrodistillation is reported. GC–MS analyses revealed sesquiterpene‐rich oils characterized by high concentrations of germacrene D, β‐caryophyllene and δ‐cadinene. Qualitative and quantitative differences were observed among the accessions, enabling them to be assigned to three clusters. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
