The essential oil of the ¯owers of Rosa brunonii (Rosaceae) was prepared by hydrodistillation and studied by capillary GC±FID and GC±MS; 35 constituents were identi®ed, accounting for 78.4% of the total oil. The essential oil consisted mainly of eugenol (30%), citronellol (2.65%), geraniol (10.5%) a

✦ Synopsis
The hydrodistilled essential oil from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus Stapf grown in Zambia was analysed by GC and GC±MS. Sixteen compounds representing 93.4% of the oil were identi®ed of which geranial (39.0%), neral (29.4%) and myrcene (18.0%) were the major components. Small amounts of geraniol (1.7%) and linalol (1.3%) were also detected. # 1998
