The essential oil of Lippia substrigosa Turcz. was analyzed by GC-FID and GC/MS. Lippia substrigosa Turcz. is a native plant from Central America and south of Mexico. A yield of 0.3% (w/w) was obtained by hydrodistillation of the dried aerial parts of the plant. The essential oil showed a high content of sesquiterpenoids, with germacrene D (29.5%), β-caryophyllene (15.4%) and caryophyllene oxide (6.9%), and the monoterpene sabinene (11.1%) as the main components. The compounds identified amount to 86.6% of the total essential oil.
