Description The hydrodistilled waxy oils of the leaves and flowers of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don cv. Nirmal plants
grown at New Delhi were analysed by GC and GC–MS. A total of 52 compounds were identified, accounting for the 91.3%
of the leaf oil.Among these the main constituents were as follows: (E,E )-2,4-hexadienal (7.7%), citronellol (7.9%), geraniol
(7.9%), p-cresol (4.7%), (Z,E )-pentadecanal (6.6%), hexadecanoic acid (4.9%), palmitic acid (4.9%) and phytol (6.4%).
A total of 41 compounds were identified, accounting for 99.4% of the flower oil, whose main constituents were heneicosane
(20.8%), tricosane (37.9%), tetracosane (6.1%) and docosane (4.3%). A total of 24 compounds occurred in both the leaf
and flower oils.
