Eight compounds in ethanolic extract were identified by Gas Chromatography ¨C Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Methyl Salicylate (81.87 %) and 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)- (5.78%) were the major constituents of ethanolic extract. This is the first report of identification of active constituents from the flower of Cordia sebestena by GC-MS. %K Cordia sebestena %K GC-MS %K Methyl Salicylate %K 9 %K 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z %K Z) %U http://www.ijcsr.co.in/Documents/Volumes/Vol%20I%20issue%204/ijcsr%2020110104(4).pdf
