Abstract: "The essential oil chemica l profile of Adesmia bijuga Phil. leaves, an endemic Chilean species from Maule Region central Chile with a critically endangered situation , was investigated for first time. This essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatog raphy - mass spectrometry (GC - MS). As a result, 29 components were identified; representing 94.8% of the oil composition. The major constituents were spath ulenol (24.3%), cadalene (9.6%), α-copaene (8.5%) and ledol (8%)."
