Qualitative analyses by GC–FID and GC–MS of the neutral fractions from hexane extract of the leaves, stems and roots of Croton sellowii were carried out. Sesquiterpenoids, n ‐alkanes, aliphatic esters and aliphatic alcohols and alkyl benzene derivatives were identied. Caryophyllene oxide (46.8%) and trans ‐caryophyllene (40.8%) were most abundant in the leaves, while caryophyllene oxide (26.5%) and cubenol (16.7%) were the main constituents in the stems. In the roots, besides mesitylene (15.2%), the sesquiterpenes γ ‐(7.6%), α ‐(6.9%) and β ‐eudesmol (5.5%) were the most abundant components. All identied constituents are described for the rst time in this species. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
