Volatile Constituents of TwoWedeliaSpecies

Abstract
The essential oils obtained from the leaves of Wedelia paludosa DC. and Wedelia trilobata (L.) Hitch., were analyzed by GC/MS. α-Pinene was the chief constituent found in all samples of both oils in a yield above 30%. W. paludosa oil was also rich in β-pinene (10.3%), limonene (21.3%) and γ-muurolene (11.8%), while α-phellandrene (17.4%) and limonene (16.3%) were the other major components of W. trilobata oil.
