The flowers and vegetative parts essential oils of Anvillea garcinii were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS using polar and nonpolar columns which led to the identification of total 140 compounds from both oils, among which 130 compounds were identified for the first time in the genus Anvillea. In the flowers oil 126 compounds were identified, whereas 119 compounds were identified in the vegetative parts oil of A. garcinii representing 95.7% and 94.9% of the total oil composition, respectively. The major components in the flowers oil were bornyl acetate (33.7%), cis-nerolidol (7.3%) and camphene (6.1%). In contrast, the major compounds in the vegetative parts oil were cis-nerolidol (16.0%), terpinen-4-ol (10.4%) and cabreuva oxide B (6.4%).
