The essential oils of species of Leptospermum allied to L. blakelyi have been examined. L. brevipes, L. neglectum, L. parvifolium, L. sp. (Woodgate, P. I. Forster, PIF 13959) produced oils which were monoterpene in character, with a-pinene usually being the major component. The oil yield in these sp

โฆ Synopsis
Bean were examined. L. myrsinoides was the only species to contain a-, b-and g-eudesmol. a-Pinene was the principal component in the oils of one chemotype each of L. deanei, L. trinervium and L. lamellatum. Bicyclogermacrene was a principal component one chemotype of both L. deanei and L. trinervium, while with L. laevigatum the main sesquiterpenoid components were b-caryophyllene and aromadendrene. The remainder of species produced oils in which sesquiterpenes predominated but with no one compound being signiยฎcantly a major component.

Fifteen related species of Leptospermum (L. arachnoides, L. crassifolium, L. deuense, L
and L. pallidum A. R. Bean have been examined. All species produce a-pinene as the major component. This was accompanied by lesser amounts of b-pinene, b-caryophyllene, aromadendrene, humulene and spathulenol. 1,8-Cineole was present usually in amounts of less than 10%.
