Abstract
This is first report on the composition of the white petal and orange corolla tubes of the flower essential oils of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn (Seuli) from the Dhaka city in Bangladesh. The white petal and orange corolla tubes of the flower of Seuli, extracted by water distillation processing were subjected to analysis by GC-MS. The major constituents were found to be 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2-hexadecene-1-ol (40.3 %) and 2-methyloctadecane (17.6 %), from petal and corolla tube, respectively. The oil confirmed the determination of 8 and 10 compound of petal and corolla tube were representing 4.50 % and 2.83 % respectively. Physico-chemical properties of the petal, corolla tube and its volatile oil were determined by standard techniques.
