The essential oils from Lippia alba and L. graveolens , growing wild in Guatemala, were obtained by hydrodistillation. The oil contents were 0.22% ( L. alba ) and 0.26% ( L. graveolens ) (v/w), on a dry weight basis. The oil compositions were analysed by GC and GC–MS. Essential oil from L. alba was characterized by a high amount of limonene (43.6%) and piperitone (30.6%). The essential oil of L. graveolens consisted mainly of thymol (31.6%) and sesquiterpenes. Caryophyllene (4.6%) and caryophyllene oxide (4.8%) were the main components of the sesquiterpenoidic fraction. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
