Abstract

The leaf oil of Dryadodaphne sp. (Mt. Lewis B.P. Hyland RFK1496) contained d-cadinene (10.7%), globulol (4.6%) and T-cadinol (3.7%) as major compounds. In the bark and wood, the major compounds were guaiol and bulnesol, with these compounds being approximately twice as prevalent in the bark as in wood. In Levieria acuminata, the principal component of the leaf oil was n-dodecanal (28%), with d-cadinene (5.8%) and calamenene (5.7%) being the principal sesquiterpenes. Kibara rigidifolia produced a complex leaf oil rich in sesquiterpenes, which also contained (Z)-b-ocimene (3±12%) and (E)-b-ocimene (1.5%) as principal monoterpenes. The principal sesquiterpenes were bicyclogermacrene, germacrene-B, guaiol and spathulenol.
