Abstract
The essential oils of aerial parts of specimens of Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Br were analysed by GC-MS. The plants were collected at three m unicipalities of Pad State, Brazil, and their oils shown to be quite d ifferent. The samples of essential oils may be divided into three grou ps. The first, type A (collected at Santa Maria), is characterized by 1,8-cineole (34.9%), limonene (18.4%), carvone (8.6%) and sabinene (8. 2%). The second, type B (collected at Belterra), is dominated by limon ene (32.1%), carvone (31.8%) and myrcene(11.0%). The third, type C (co llected at Chaves), is represented by neral (13.7%), geranial(22.5%), germacrene-D (25.4%) and B-caryophyllene (10.2%). (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
