Popis: The chemical composition of the essential oils of the leaves and stem bark of Canella winterana (L.) Gaertn. (Canellaceae), was investigated by GC and GC/MS. In die oil of the stem bark, 27 components were identified: mono- and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (34.9%), oxygenated terpenes (58.3%), and phenolic components (6.8%). The main constituents of the oil were 1,8-cineole (37.0%), terpinen-4-ol (10.7%), α-terpinyl acetate (9.2%) and α-terpineol (6.8%). The leaf oil was found to be rich in myrcene (68.0%).
