Abstract

The volatile constituents of the essential oil from Elsholtzia flava Benth. growing in higher elevations of Kumaon region (India) were characterized by combination of GC, GC-MS, GC-FT-IR and NMR. Twenty-two components were identified comprising 93% of the oil. Rose furan (45.0%) and estragol (40.5%) were the major constituents.
