    Abstract: The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from leaves of Monanthotaxis parvifolia were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty compounds representing 99.9 % of oil were identified. This oil is rich in sesquiterpenes with oxygenated sesquiterpenes (87.1%) following by hydrocarbons compounds (10.8%). Caryophyllene oxide (50... Show More
