Abstract
The essential oils of Salvia ringens (samples A and B), were analyzed by means of GC and GC/MS. From the seventy-five identified constituents representing 99.82 and 99.86 % of the oils, 1,8-cineole and α-pinene were the major components. Furthermore, sample B exhibited a very interesting antimicrobial profile after it was tested against six Gram (±) bacteria and three pathogenic fungi.
