The volatile constituents from the leaves, stalks, inorescences and the whole plant of Ocimum micranthum , cultivated in the state of Pará, Brazil, were obtained by hydrodistillation and examined by GC/MS. The major components identied were methyl‐( E )‐cinnamate (34.6–56.7%), carvone (10.4–16.1%), limonene (8.1–10.3%) and linalool (4.1–9.4%). The maximum yield in essential oil was furnished by the leaves (4.3%). Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
