Abstract

Abstract. The chemical composition of the leaf oil obtained by hydrodistillation of Lindera rufa Hook. f. were study by GC, GC/MS Thirty-tow compounds were identified representing 99.65% of the oil with camphor (67.46%) as major constituent. Other thirty-two components were found with lower content. The oil yield was 0.91% on fresh leaves.

Keywords: Lindera rufa, Lauraceae, essential oil composition, camphor.
