Abstract
The chemical composition of the leaf oil from Buchenavia capitata (Vahl) Eichl. was examined by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Seventeen compounds comprising 91.3% of the total peak area were identified. Terpene alcohols (63.4%) and alkenes (27.9%) were the major components identified with elemol (15.4%), viridiflorene (10.4%) and epi-α-cadinol (9.3%) as the most prominent ones.Keywords
