Abstract

The volatile leaf oils of: Eucalyptus gamophylla F. Muell.; E. gongylocarpa Blakely; E. eudesmioides F. Muell. subsp. eudesmioides; E. tetragona (R. Br.) F. Muell; E. erythrocorys, F. Muell.; E. gittinsii Brooker & Blaxell; E. ebbanoenis Maiden; six specimens of E. camaldulensis Dehnh. var. camaldulensis; E. globulus Labill. subsp. globulus; E. globulus subsp. bicostata Maiden, Blakely & J. Simm.; E. globulus subsp. maidenii F. Muell.; and E. globulus subsp. pseudoglobulus Naudin ex. Maiden; isolated by vacuum distillation, were analysed by GC and by GC-MS. Many species contained α-pinene (1.0–47.2%), β-pinene (0–0.9%), 1,8-cineole (0.2–68.8%), p-cymene (0.2–20.1%), aromadendrene (0–15.0%), bicyclogermacrene (0–46.6%) and spathulenol (0.1–29.0%) as principal leaf oil components: all species contained torquatone.
