Abstract
Salvia hians Royle ex. Benth (Lamiaceae) growing wild in the central Himalayan region, was analyzed by capillary GC and GC-MS. The oil was found to be rich in sesquiterpine hydrocarbons (52.5 %). Total 64 compounds were identified representing 94.9 % of the oil; γ-cadinene (10.9 %), δ-cadinene (9.2 %), caryophyllene acetate (9.7 %) and cubenol (6.1 %) were found to be the principal constituents. The oil was tested against ten bacterial strains and showed significant activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis and Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
