Abstract

The volatile leaf oils of Eucalyptus melanoxylon Maiden, E. brachycalyx Blakely, E. rugosa R. Br. ex Blakely, E. griffithsii Maiden, E. concinna Maiden & Blakely, E. corrugata Luehm., E. torquata Luehm. and E. pimpiniana Maiden, isolated by vacuum distillation, were analysed by GC–MS. All species contained α-pinene (6–39%), α-pinene (3–10%), 1,8-cineole (7–30%), p-cymene (2–17%), aromadendrene (0.5–9%), trans-pinocarveol (1-11%) and β-eudesmol (0.5–10%) as principal leaf oil components.
