Abstract The volatile constituents of Clerodendron fragrans (Vent.) R. Br. flowers were analysed by capillary GC and GC–MS following isolation by hydrodistillation–extraction; 41 compounds were identified. Oxygenated monoterpenes and aromatic compounds originating from phenylpropanoid metabolism predominated, accounting for 41.2% and 36.0% respectively, of the total volatiles. The major components were linalol, benzyl acetate and benzyl benzoate. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
