Abstract
The essential oil components of aerial parts of Phryna ortegioides (Fisch. & Mey.) Pax & Hoffm. was investigated by GC and GC-MS. The yield of oil was ca. 0.2 mL/100 g. Twenty components were identified representing 90.9% oil. Germacrene D (26.6%), borneol (19.1%), bicyclogermacrene (9.2%) were identified as major components of Phryna ortegioides. Caryophylaceae genera like Gypsophila L., Minuartia L. and Cerastium L. produced many similar major compounds in their essential oils that could be justified by the similar ecological conditions of their habitat, but also differences were found that could confirm their taxonomic separation. Also, in this study chemical distribution of the essential oil compounds in the genus pattern were discussed in means of chemotaxonomy and natural products
Keywords: Phryna, essential oil, germacrene D, borneol
