Abstract
Essential oils from fresh leaves of Bauhinia tomentosa, B. scandens, B. purpurea and B. malabarica from south India were isolated by hydrodistillation and characterized by GC-MS. Phytol was the major constituent in B. purpurea (90.38 %), B. scandens (88.32 %) and B. malabarica (62.17 %). Phytone was the major constituent in B. tomentosa (32.84 %), followed by b-cubebene (21.84 %) and b-caryophyllene (14.24 %). Monoterpenioids were absent in Bauhinia leaf oils.
