Abstract: | "The hydrodistilled essential oils of the leaves of Senecio pterophorus collected from three different localities in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa have been analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Thirteen - eighteen compounds were identified, accounting for over 98% of the total oil composition. The major components of the oils were limonene (10.3 - 32.3%), myrcene (14.4-19.7%), sabinene (13.0-18.0%), alpha-phellandrene (3.4-16.9%) and p-cymene (15.6-16.7%)" |
