Abstract: Epicuticular wax from the leaves of Tamarix aphylla L. was extracted using n-hexane as a solvent and its yield was found to be 0.34 %. The wax constituents were characterized and identified by GC/MS and NMR spectroscopy. The major components were free fatty acids (60.45 %) and free alcohols (20.23 %) together with minor amounts of n-alkanes (2.33 %); br-alkanes (1.68 %); alkenes (0.30 %); aromatic hydrocarbon (0.34 %); esters (3.22 %); dihydroxy ester (2.11 %); aldehydes (5.37 %); benzofuranone (0.07 %) and oxirane (3.89 %).
