The multivariate chemical analysis of the essential oils from leaves of Eugenia uniflora with different fruit colour indicated the presence of three clusters of oils regarding sample biotypes. The first included yellowish-orange, purple, and dark red fruits with high percentages of germacrene B (11-31%), germacrone (9.8-54%) and atractylone (0-20%). In cluster II, with red bright fruit samples, the major constituents were curzerene (42-43%), germacrene D (8.7- 9.0%) and germacrene A (5.9-8.9%), while cluster III included red-orange fruit samples containing a high content of selina-1,3,7(11)-trien-8-one (40-55%) and selina-1,3,7(11)-trien-8-one epoxide (13-24%). All essential oils have predominantly sesquiterpenes, although sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes contents were majorities in the clusters I/II and III, respectively. In addition, seasonal influence on the chemical composition of essential oils of from leaves of red-orange fruit colour biotype has indicated the influence of seasons, which included samples collected during dry months (April-September) characterized by the highest percentages of spathulenol (10%) and caryophyllene oxide (4.1%), and samples collected during wet months (October-March), whose major constituent was selina-1,3,7(11)-trien-8- one epoxide (29%). The canonical correlation indicated that spathulenol and caryophyllene oxide revealed a strong relationship with the phenolics and nutrient balance (S, Ca, Fe) in leaves, whereas selina-1,3,7(11)-trien-8-one epoxide was related to (K, Cu, Mn), and precipitation during the months of the wet season. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes were predominant in all the sampling months and the oil chemovariation observed might be environmentally determined by a clear seasonal influence.
