The essential oil from the fruits of Zanthoxylum rhetsoides Drake (syn. Z. myriacanthum Wall. ex Hook. f.) of north‐west Vietnamese origin consists of 78% of monoterpene hydrocarbons, 19% of oxygenated monoterpenes, 1% of n ‐alcohols and only 1% of sesquiterpenes. The essential oil from aerial parts of Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb. (syn. Z. armatum DC., Z. planispinium Sieb. et Zucc.) collected in north‐west India contains 33% of monoterpene hydrocarbons. The main constituents are 1,8‐cineole (15.7%, 18 ), linalol (18.8%, 28 ) and undecan‐2‐one (17.0%, 60) . Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
