The leaf, bark and root oils of Goniothalamus uvariodes King were investigated by capillary GC and GC–MS. The leaf oil was made up mainly of sesquiterpenoids, with β ‐cubebene (15.2%) as the dominant component. The other major components were elemol (9.7%), epi ‐ α ‐cadinol (6.2%), α ‐muurolene (4.8%) and viridiorol (4.8%). The bark oil was also rich in sesquiterpenoids, with β ‐eudesmol (31.5%), γ ‐eudesmol (16.0%), hedycaryol (13.6%), α ‐eudesmol (5.6%) and ( Z )‐nerolidol (5.2%) as the major constituents. However, the major group of compounds in the root oil was monoterpenoids, of which terpinen‐4‐ol (39.5%) and 1,8‐cineole (14.0%) were the main representatives. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
