Abstract

The volatile leaf oils of Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl. var. occidentalis, E. astringens (Maiden) Maiden, E. sargentii Maiden subsp. sargentii, E. stowardii Maiden, E. annulata Benth., E. macrandra F. Muell. ex. Benth., E. macrandra F. Muell. ex Benth. subsp. ‘olivacea’, E. aspratilis L.A.S. Johnson and K.D. Hill, E. grossa F. Muell. ex. Benth., E. dundasii Maiden, E. cooperiana F. Muell., E. halophila D.J. Carr & S.G.M. Carr, E. salmonophloia F. Muell., E. brockwayi C.A. Gardner, and E. merrickiae Maiden & Blakely isolated by vacuum distillation, were analysed by GC and by GC-MS. Most species contained α-pinene (5.1–47.2%), β-pinene (0.1–16.4%), 1,8-cineole (2.7–48.6%), p-cymene (0.3–17.7%) and aromadendrene (1.2–20.0%) and bicyclogermacrene (0–28.5%) as principal leaf oil components.
