An essential oil obtained in a yield of 0.13% by hydrodistillation of the rhizomes of the species Scleria striatinux De Wild. (Cyperaceae) was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-eight compounds have been identified in the oil of which alpha- and beta-pinene represent more than half of the total monoterpene content (42.4%). Among the sesquiterpenes (30.4%), the major component is cyperene (8.0%). Some non-terpenic compounds (12.5), among which caprylic and capric acids were the most abundant, were also characterized.
