Abstract

The essential oils of two Bystropogon species of the mint family endemic to the Canary Islands (Spain) have been analyzed by a combination of GLC/MS, retention indices, 1R, ¹³C-NMR and ¹H-NMR spectra. The major components of the volatile oils were found to be pulegone, isomenthone, and methone in B. origanifolius and 3-octyl acetate, limonene, and trans-β-caryophyllene in B. canariensis.

Key words
