“…Benzenoids were the most abundant amongst floral scent compounds, which content reached at least 51%. The same scenario was noted in the floral essential oil of Randia matudae [17] compared to other species of different genera in the family Rubiaceae. In contrast, the quantity and amount of predominant compounds in the floral scent of Posoqueria latifolia [18], the leaf essential oil of Rustia formosa and the essential oil from aerial parts of Anthospermum emirnense and A. perrieri were sesquiterpenes [16,19]; the floral scent of Cephalanthus occidentalis , Warszewiczia coccinea and Gardenia jasminoides were monoterpenes [20,21]; the floral scent of Coffea Arabica were aliphatics [22].…”

Luculia plants are famed ornamental plants with sweetly fragrant flowers, of which L. pinceana Hooker, found primarily in Yunnan Province, China, has the widest distribution. Solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was employed to identify the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from different flower development stages of L. pinceana for the evaluation of floral volatile polymorphism. Peak areas were normalized as percentages and used to determine the relative amounts of the volatiles. The results showed that a total of 39 compounds were identified at four different stages of L. pinceana flower development, including 26 at the bud stage, 26 at the initial-flowering stage, 32 at the full-flowering stage, and 32 at the end-flowering stage. The most abundant compound was paeonol (51%-83%) followed by (E,E)-α-farnesene, cyclosativene, and δ-cadinene. All these volatile compounds create the unique fragrance of L. pinceana flower. Floral scent emission offered tendency of ascending first and descending in succession, meeting its peak level at the initial-flowering stage. The richest diversity of floral volatile was detected at the third and later periods of flower development. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the composition and its relative content of floral scent differed throughout the whole flower development. The result has important implications for future floral fragrance breeding of Luculia. L. pinceana would be adequate for a beneficial houseplant and has a promising prospect for development as essential oil besides for a fragrant ornamental owing to the main compounds of floral scent with many medicinal properties.

“…In the rest of family, this gland is only mentioned without any structural corroboration (Endress 1994;Demarco 2005). The main reports have been the description of the scent in taxonomic studies and a few chemical analyses (Stevens 1988;Vogel 1990;Rohrbeck et al 2006;Jürgens et al 2008;Setzer 2014). In Ceropegia, the osmophore was found at the tip of petals, consisting of secretory epidermis and subepidermal layers, as well as in Ditassa (Fig.…”

“…Essential oils are seldom encountered in Rubiaceae. The few aromatic species belonging to this family generally contain volatile constituents in low yields, as exemplified by Morinda morindoides fresh leaves (0.2%) [10], Galium odoratum dried aerial parts (0.05%) [11], Rubia tinctorum dried aerial parts (0.1%) [12], Mitracarpus scraber fresh aerial parts (0.04%) [13], Randia mutadae flowers (0.02%) [14], or Gardenia jasminoides flowers (0.07%) [15]. Hydrodistillation of the fresh aerial parts of A. emirnense and A. perrieri in a Clevenger-type apparatus provided dark yellow essential oils with strong and pleasant smells in 0.035 and 0.022% (w/w) yield, respectively.…”

The essential oils of Anthospermum emirnense Baker and Anthospermum perrieri Homolle ex Puff, obtained by hydrodistillation in 0.03 and 0.02% yield, respectively, were analyzed by GC/MS. In both cases, the major constituents consisted of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The two species showed an important qualitative similarity, with 40 compounds common to A. emirnense and A. perrieri, including β-elemene, trans-β-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, and τ-cadinol, which were major components in both cases. When tested for antimicrobial activity, both essential oils showed similar profiles and exhibited interesting minimal-inhibitory-concentration (MIC) values towards Bacillus subtilis, Chryseobacterium indologenes, Flavimonas oryzihabitans, and Yersinia enterocolitica.
