Sixty-two compounds have been characterized by GC/MS and relative retention times in the essential oil of Senecio ambavilla (Bory) Pers. produced from plant material growing in Reunion (Indian Ocean). The oil was found to be rich in allo-aromadendrene (40%) and alpha-pinene (14%). While accounting numerically for approximatively third of the total number of compounds present in the oil, the monoterpene compounds contributed less than 23% of the oil content. On the other hand 70% of the oil was sesquiterpenoid in nature. In addition, long chain aldehydes, eremophilane, phytol (a diterpene alcohol) and indene derivatives were also identified as minor-constituents.
