The compositions of the essential oil fromcyperus conglomerateswere obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC/MS (Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry). Twenty seven compounds were identified. Of which the cyperene (27.2%) was the major component. This is the first time that an oil ofC. conglomerateshas been found with cyperene as the major constituent. Also, the oil ofC. conglomeratesconsisted mainly of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes and a small percentage of monoterpenes.
