Abstract
The chemical composition of the volatile concentrates of the flowers of Wul ffia baccala and Zinnia elegans were analyzed by GC/MS. The major component s identified in the flowers of W. baccala were (E)-beta-ocimene (17.3%), li monene (13.6%), germacrene D (13.0%) and myrcene (11.8%). Germacrene D (12. 4%) and p-cymene (9.1%) were the major components found in the flowers of Z . elegans.
