Abstract: The volatile constituents of Lindera Pulcherrima(Wall.) were extracted by steam distillation. The chemical constituents of essential oil have been analyzed by GC-MS. The results show that the extractive yield of essential oil is 0.75%, the compounds of essential oil are 28.94% eucalyptol, 15.75% α-methlybenzofuran, 5.13% 4-terpinenol, 11.22% α-terpineol, 7.97% 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, 2.87% guaiol, and the extractive yield of substance from water is 0.25%, which consists of 8.47% 2-methylbenzofuran, 24.13% 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, 18.07% 2H-1-benzopyran-3-ol,3,4-dihydro,acetate, 2.09% p-gresyl glycidyl ether, 4.50% 1-phenylpropene-3,3-diol diacetate, 17.19% glycerol dicetate and 11.80% farnesyl acetate.
