The first report of chemical and biological study of essential oil from Begonia reniformis leaf (Begoniaceae)

Species of the genus Begonia are expensive ornamental plants. There have been few reports of chemical studies with the Begonia species. Here we report the first chemical and biological study of essential oil for a species of Begonia. The essential oil of the Begonia reniformis leaf obtained by hydro...
