“…Few species of the genus Artabotrys have been investigated for their essential oils composition (Menut et al, 1992;Fournier et al, 1997;Garg and Siddiqui, 1999;Phan et al, 2007;Srivastava et al, 2009;Juma, 2009;Dai et al, 2010;Thang et al, 2013). These include A. lastourvillensis (Menut et al, 1992), A. insignis, A. pierreanus, A. rufus, A. thomsoni, A. venustus (Fournier et al, 1997), A. odoratissimus (Garg and Siddiqui, 1999;Srivastava et al, 2009), A. hexapetalus (Phan et al, 2007), A. modestus (Juma, 2009), A. vinhensis (Dai et al, 2010 and A. hongkonensis (Thang et al, 2013). Essential oil investigations from A. modestus, a species endemic to Tanzania revealed presence of uncommon constituents, significant amount of oil yield for commercial exploitation and showed moderate mosquito repellence (Juma, 2009).…”
