a The data are presented as relative % by weight for each component isolated from H. perforatum flowers and leaves. RRI was calculated based on retention of n-alkanes; %, calculated from flame ionization detector data. Trace amounts (t) were present at <0.1%. * Tentatively identified using Wiley and MassFinder mass spectra libraries and published RRI. All other compounds were identified by comparison with co-injected standards.
