title: [Extraction and GC-MS analysis of essential oil from leaves of Discocleidion rufescens].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyse the compositions of essential oil from leaves of Discocleidion rufescens.
  
  
  METHODS
  To isolate by steam distillation and analyze by GC-MS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  37 compounds, representing 92.25% of total oil were indentified and their relative amount was determined.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The oil is rich in Phytol (39.30%, n-Hexadecanoic acid (11.72%), (Z) -3-Teoadecen-5-yne (5.78%) and beta-Pinene (3.63%).
