- Observation Xanthostemon chrysanthus leaf oil had the beta-triketone leptospermone as principal component at 65-84%.
- Observation X. crenulatus leaf oil was dominated by the sesquiterpene ketone cyclocolorenone at 65-80%.
- Observation X. eucalyptoides leaf oil was dominated by aromatic ketones, with baeckeol methyl ether at 34-41%.
- Observation X. formosus leaf oil was sesquiterpenoid, with beta-caryophyllene as a principal component at 10-24%.
