The chemical composition of the leaf, bark and root oils of Goniothalamus malayanus Hook. f. and Thoms. was examined by capillary GC and GC–MS. The leaf oil was made up mainly of sesquiterpenoids, of which β‐selinene (33.6%) was the dominant component. The other major compounds present were viridiflorol (13.1%), epi ‐globulol (7.7%), ( E )‐nerolidol (4.4%) and globulol (3.8%). The bark and root oils, which were qualitatively similar but with some variation in levels of the individual constituents, were also rich in sesquiterpenoids (97% and 95%, respectively), with eudesmols as the most abundant compounds. The bark oil contained a higher amount of β‐eudesmol (32.2%), γ‐eudesmol (21.8%) and α‐eudesmol (6.6%) than the root oil. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
