Abstract:
The qualitative and quantitative determination of the essential oils of the aerial part of two varieties of Cedronella canariensis (L.) W. et B., namely, C. canariensis var. canariensis and C. canariensis var. anisata have been performed, together with the study of the antimicrobial activity of both oils. The noteworthy inhibition exhibited against Bordetella bronchiseptica and Cryptococcus albidus may justify the popular use of the these plants in the treatment of certain diseases of the respiratory tract.
