Five variants were isolated from M2 generation derived from mutagenic treatment of selfed seeds of a natural variant of Cymbopogon flexosus which was rich in essential oil of inferior low citral content. Three variants were found to possess a high oil content (1.30-1.53%) and were rich in geraniol (66-73%) suggesting that they could be good sources of geraniol. One variant had an extremely low oil content (0-traces), while another variant possessed oil composition which was not rich (> 20%) in any single constituent. The main components of this variant were (E)-beta-ocimene (16.54-20.09%), gamma-terpinene (7.93-9.91%), linalool (7.89-9.95%), neral (10.42-10.43%) and geraniol (13.76-15.03%).
