The citrus relative Severinia buxifolia is tolerant to boron and salt, and is resistant to nematode infection, thus making it a potential rootstock for cultivated citrus. Its essential leaf oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS, and 59 of the 73 separated components were identified by their MS spectra and retention indices. The MS data are given for the remaining 14 unknowns. The major constituents were the sesquiterpenes α-santalene (24%), trans-β-santalol (21%), germacrene-B (10%) and β-caryophyllene (7%) and the monoterpene limonene (19%).
