title: Essential oil analysis of Eusteralis deccanensis Panigrahi (Lamiaceae).
abstract: The phytochemical potential of Eusteralis deccanensis has been revealed for the first time. The volatile oil obtained from the leaves and flowers was found to be rich in alpha- and beta-patchoulene. In addition, GC analysis revealed three sesquiterpenes (beta-caryophyllene, beta-bourbonene, beta-elemene), two oxygenated monoterpenes (geranyl acetate, neryl acetate) and one sesquiterpene alcohol (delta-cadinol). The plant possesses a patchoulene chemotype.
