Vanillosmopsis erythropappa Asteraceae

Vanillosmopsis erythropappa Schultz-Bip. is a component of the Atlantic coastal forest in Brazil, where it is exploited as a source of an essential oil used in the pharmaceutical industry. A survey of specimens from four locations showed markedly different compositions of their essential oil fraction (Lopes et al., 1991). The compounds identified were bisabolol [160], costunolide [161], eremanthine [162], and five related compounds, six compounds based upon the cyclocostunolide skeleton [163], and the two esters 15-deoxygoyazenolide [164] and lychnopholide [165] 

Asterisk ( ) = Present and accompanied by other compounds having the same carbon skeleton.
