Abstract: Essential oils obtained by hydro-distillation of the leaves and stems of a species of Crassocephalum growing in Côte d'Ivoire have been studied for the first time. Essential oils were analyzed and characterized by GC and GC-MS. Analyses of the essential oils led to the identification and quantification of 39 and 84 constituents in the respective leaves oils and stems oil. Characterization of the oils revealed the predominance of the hydrocarbon monoterpene myrcene (leave: 87.48%, stem: 35.55%). Myrcene alone accounts for almost all of the leaf oil. The essential oils of the stems present a different chemotype from that of the leaves with the presence of other predominant compounds terpinolene (31.99%) and (E)-dec-2-enal (8.01%).
