Abstract
Cymbopogon giganteus belong to aromatic grasses of the family Poaceae. During the present study wild Cymbopogon giganteus collected from Gangondanahalli, Bangalore was investigated for essential oil content comparison, morphological characterization and DNA barcoding of the species carried out confirmed the species investigated as C.giganteus.The essential oil of the plant constituted rich amount of monoterpenoids compounds such as Dihydrocarveol (25.02%), Menthane (14.71%), Citral (13.26%), Limonene (7.85%) and Limonene 1,2 epoxide(3.65%). Exploration of wild cymbopogon species revealed the diverse compounds present in essential oil. C. giganteus is widely used in traditional medicine against several diseases.
