Popis: The genus Michelia comprises over 50 species and is distributed in tropical areas and both hemisphere. The volatile components of the leaf oil of Michelia balansae (A.DC.) Dandy from the Nghean province, Vietnam were analyzed by Capillary GC, GC/MS as well as by background substraction of coeluting compounds. The major components in the leaf oil were α-pinene (18.41%), (α and β-phellandrene (17.36% and 7.42%), germacrene D (17.98%) and bicyclogermacrene (7.55%). The lesser amounts were β-myrcene (3.88%),δ-elemene (5.11%) and β-caryophyllene (3.47%).
