Abstract
The essential oils of ten Eucalyptus species grown in Rwanda have been examined by GC/MS. More than 100 compounds were characterized in the oils. E. maidenii and E. smithii oils were found to be rich in 1,8-cineole (70–85%), E. dives oil rich in piperitone (33%) and E. macarthurii oil rich in geranyl acetate (50%).
