Abstract

Overexploited for its fragrant heartwood during the 19th century, the Polynesian sandalwood (Santalum insulare) is now an endangered tree scattered among the islands of Eastern Polynesia where several botanical varieties are recognized [1]. In order to sustainably manage this natural resource, chemodiversity approach was carried out to highlight restauration and conservation programm monitoring. So, sesquiterpenoid composition of heartwood extracts and leaf-flavonoid composition of samples from all its distribution area were analyzed. Multivariate statistical methods of the obtained data were performed to establish the diversity patterns.
