The chemical composition of the essential oils was determined using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, and 1.8-cineole, a- copaene , caryophyllene oxide and y-muurolene were found to be the most abundant constituents in the essential oils of both V. obovatassp. obovataand V. obovata sssp. wilmsii.
