Popis:	The essential oil composition of Vernonia amygdalina Del. air-dried leaves was analysed by GC and GC-MS. A total of 20 compounds, representing 83.9 % of the total oil were identified. The major constituents of the oil were thymol (27.0 %), (E)-phytol (15.7 %) and ocymene (12.7 %). Other representative compounds were β-selinene (8.1 %), γ-terpinene (4.4 %), β-caryophyllene (3.9 %) and apiole (3.8 %). The essential oil has different composition compared with similar species earlier reported from the eastern part of Nigeria.
