The essential oils from the leaves of Lantana salvifolia Jacq. (Verbenaceae) growing in Brazzaville, Congo, were analysed by GC and GC–MS. They were characterized by the predominance of neral (15–20%) and geranial (26–34%); the more representative sesquiterpenes were β ‐caryophyllene and its oxide (11–18%). This essential oil is compared with that of Lantana camara L. and other species. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
