Abstract

The genus Plinia belongs to the family Myrtaceae. It is represented in Cuba by 12 endemic species. Three of them were studied in this paper. The essential oils obtained from the leaves of Plinia dermatodes Urb., Plinia rubrinervis Urb.and Plinia rupestris Ekm & Urb. from the western region of Cuba were examined by GC and GC-MS. Major components were found: caryophyllene oxide (62.1 %) in P. dermatodes oil; a-pinene (19.9 %), p-cymene (11.4 %), a-terpineol (10.9 %) and a-campholenal (9.5 %) in P. rubrinervis oil, and epi-a-muurolol (22.1 %) in P. rupestris oil.
