Abstract
The essential oils of the aerial parts of Achyrocline satureioides (D.C.) Lam., a regional medicinal plant, from different collection locations in the South of Brazil and Uruguay were examined by GC and GC-MS. Monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were the main fractions of both the oils from Brazil and Uruguay. The oxygenated monoterpenes and sequiterpenes were at much lower percentage in both samples. The Uruguayan samples have 1,8-cineole which is not present in the Brazilian samples and has not been reported in other samples from Brazil. The results indicated a high biodiversity of the native populations of A. satureioides.
