✦ Synopsis

The essential oils of aerial parts of three samples of Lantana camara L. collected at dierent places in the Amazon Region were obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC±MS. The main constituents found in the oil of leaves and thin branches of a specimen collect in the State of Amapa (sample A) were limonene (16.5%), a-phellandrene (16.4%), germacrene-D (13.2%), b-caryophyllene (10.8%) and sabinene (8.9%). The major components identi®ed in the oil of leaves and thin branches of a specimen collected in the State of Roraima (sample B) were germacrene-D (28.4%), germacrene-B (9.1%) and b-caryophyllene (5.6%). The specimen collected in the State of Para (sample C) furnished oils from leaves plus thin branches and ¯owers, separately. Both were dominated by g-curcumene ar-curcumene (27.6%; 31.9%), a-zingiberene (19.2%; 15.5%) and a-humulene (10.7%; 9.5%), respectively.
