TheRaukauagenus of the family Araliaceae consists of 3 species,R. anomalus, R. edgerleyi andR. simplex, all endemic to New Zealand. The essential oil ofR. edgerleyiandR. simplex consisted largely of monoterpenes. Limonene was the most abundant (23%) inR. edgerleyi and myrcene the most abundant (34%) in R. simplex. The oil of R. simplex lacked any significant sesquiterpenoids whereas bicyclogermacrene constituted 12% of the oil ofR. edg- erleyi.The oil ofR. anomaluscontained monoterpenes in low abundance and the sesquiter- penoids germacrene-B (15%) andγ-muurolene (16%) dominated the composition of this oil.

The oil ofR. edgerleyihad a pleasant fresh green aroma but the low yields of all three oils excluded them from potential commercial use.
