Abstract: The chemical composition of volatiles from the root of Stahlianthus campanulatus O. Kuzt (Zingiberaceae) has been studied. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC (FID) and GC-MS. The components by identified by MS libraries and their LRIs. The major constituents of the oil were stahlianthusone (27.6%), a -copaene (16.7%) and camphor (14.7%). The chemical compositions of the essential oil of S. campanulatus are being reported for the first time.
