Conteúdo: 	In the Amazon region of Brazil, the roots of different species of Philodendron are used in the traditional medicine. Philodendron fragrantissimum (Hook.) G. Don, locally known as ?cipó-tracuá?, has very aromatic roots and is used for baths and fumigation. Here, we describe the chemical composition of the essential oil from the roots of P.&#8201;fragrantissimum obtained by hydrodistillation in a modified Clevenger-type apparatus for 4&#8201;hours. The oil was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Thirty-five substances were detected and the major components were &#946;-caryophyllene (29.9%), limonene (15.8%), &#946;-selinene (11.5%), &#945;-selinene (15.7%), &#945;-pinene (3.4%), &#945;-copaene (3.2%), &#946;-pinene (2.5%) and &#948;-cadinene (2.9%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition of the essential oil from P. fragrantissimum. The high content of &#946;-caryophyllene was not observed in the other oils studied so far and might be considered a tool in taxonomy studies.
