Abstrakt: AbstractThe essential oil from the leaf of Kyllinga brevifoliaRottb., collected from Biratnagar, Nepal, was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 22 compounds were identified in the oil accounting for 96.1 % of the oil composition. The majority of the essential oil was identified to be occadinol (40.3 %),’L-τ-muurolol (19.5%), and germacrene D-4-ol (12.5 %). The oil also contained smaller amounts of δ-cadinene (2.9 %), and germacrene D (4.0 %).Reports on the essential oil composition of K. brevifoliafrom Nepal were compared with a sample from Brazil, which showed that 13-epi-manoyl oxide (26.1 %) and manoyl oxide derivatives constituted the majority of composition with a-cadinol comprising only 0.4 %. However germacrene D was found in similar percentages between Nepal and Brazil samples (4.0 %and 4.2 %, respectively).
