Abstract:
The SPME-GC-MS analysis of the aroma components of Cephalanthera damasonium, Cephalanthera rubra, and Cephalanthera longifolia were reported. The main components found in C. damasonium were pentadecane, hexadecane, heptadecane and α-farnesene. The same compounds were found in the scent of C. rubra. Although C. damasonium and C. rubra have different pollination mechanisms, their spectrum of volatile compounds surprisingly does not differ significantly. In C. longifolia pentadecane and heptadecane were found together with cis-β-farnesene. As C. longifolia is allogamous, the differences in scent composition may play a role in pollinator attraction.
