Abstract
The essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Zilla macroptera Coss. (Brassicaceae), endemic species of the south of Algeria and southeast of Morocco, was analysed by GC and GC – MS. The analysis revealed 72 compounds accounting for 88.53 % of the oil. Geranyl butyrate (13.52%), Caryophyllene oxide (6.76%) and Carvone oxide (5.97%) were the main compounds of Z. macroptera Coss. This paper presents the rst detailed study of the essential oil composition of Z. macroptera Coss.
