Abstract

The composition of the essential oil of Elsholtzia strobilifera, growing around Naini Tal (India) has been investigated by capillary gas-chromatography, gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Out of about 50 identified mono- and sesquiterpenoids, pinocarvone is the most abundant component, which has not been identified in any species of Elsholtzia before. The acylfuran derivatives reported from other species of Elsholtzia could not be detected.
