The essential oils of medicinal and aromatic plants remain a veritable tool in the management of ailments in ethnomedicine. Essential oils from medicinal plants had also been reported to possess various pharmacological activities, and have found relevance in food and industrial applications. Lantana camara L. is a well-known poisonous plant in ethnomedicine with proven numerous biological activities. The essential oil of the Nigerian species which has not been well studied was extracted by hydro-distillation and analyzed using a Shimadzu GC-MS QP2010 SE. The major chemical components of the oil were found to be Davanone (15.54%), Eucalyptol (12.72%), β-Phellandrene (10.58%), α-Pinene (9.30%), Caryophyllene (6.99%), and (6E)-Nerolidol (5.68%). This is the first time Davanone has been reported from the species, and the species may present an alternative source for natural davanone.
