Resumen:
Inthis communication we report the essential oil composition of Aristolochiachilensis Bridges ex Lindl. fresh leaves. This species is one of the larvalfood-plants of Battus polydamas Boisd., the only butterfly of the familyPapilionidae (Lepidoptera) occurring in Chile. In order to determine possiblechemical similarities among several of its host species distributed throughoutthe continent, we compared these results with data obtained from literature onthe composition of other representative Aristolochia species occurringin Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Instead of the expected, it was found thatthe essential oil of each species considered in this work exhibits a particularcharacteristic profile.
