Essential oil constituents of Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke
1992
Charles, D.J. | Simon, J.E.
The volatile oil of Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke, a perennial undershrub of Labiatae, grown in Indiana was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The essential oil content varied between the leaves (0.77-1.12% dry wt. basis) and the flowers (1.96-2.8% dry wt. basis). Seventeen constituents were identified in the oil. Oil composition was similar between the leaves and flowers with linalool as the major constituent (leaves (41.94%), flowers (58.85%)). Other major constituents included camphor (leaves (17.02%), flowers (15.82%)) and 1,8-cineole (leaves (10.18%), flowers (6.38%)). We report a 'linalool-camphor' chemotype of O. kilimandscharicum.
