Re-investigation of the aerial parts of Iva frutescens resulted in the isolation of three sesquiterpenes, two of which are new natural products, and their structures were established by spectral data.
Induced volatile terpenes have been commonly reported among diverse agricultural plant species, but less commonly investigated in odorous plant species. Odorous plants synthesize and constitutively store relatively large amounts of volatiles, and these may play a role in defense against herbivores.
