The essential oil from the leaves of Carramboa littlei Aristeg. was isolated by hydrodistillation yielding 0.09%, w/v. The chemical composition was determined by GC-FID and GC-MS. Sixteen components were identified by comparison of their mass spectra with Wiley and NIST library data. The major constituents of the oil were germacrene-D (50.0%), bicyclogermacrene (4.8%) and ent-kaur-16-en-19-al (21.8%).
