(Loganiaceae) growing in Malaysia was examined for the first time. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and fully characterized by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 15 components were identified in the essential oil, which made up 87.2% of the total oil. The essential is composed mainly of α-ionone (20.2%), β-ionone (19.5%), bicyclogermacrene (19.2%), and geranyl acetate (10.2%).}, number={1}, publisher={Badebio Biotechnology Ltd.}
