e0“The essential oils from the fruits of two different morphological types of T. maxima Miller (I and II), both with the chromosome number 2n=22 (2x), have been characterized”
e2“The two phenotypes showed similar compositional patterns with limonene (34–27%) and methyl eugenol (59–63%) as main components”
