Hortia oreadica (Rutaceae), known as "quina-do-campo" and "para-tudo", is popularly used as stimulant and stomachic. The aims of this study was to perform: morphological description and the study of the behavior of individuals of H. oreadica in relation to seasonal variations; anatomical study of the leaves and young stems; phytochemical screening of the powdered leaves; identify the components of the essential oil from inflorescences, leaves and fruits. The morphological and anatomical studies of the plant leaves and young stem were performed according to conventional techniques of plant anatomy. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger apparatus and analyzed by GC/MS. It was observed that H. oreadica is a shrub with simple and alternate sheets. Leaf blade glabrous on both sides with translucent points. Inflorescence corymb of dicásio, with about 580 flowers; thick branches. Flower with color ranging from pink to vinaceous and copious nectar. Green fruit, capsular and black seeds. Anatomically it was verified secretory cavities, prismatic crystals, and predominantly anomocytic stomata. The major components of the essential oil from the leaves, flowers and fruits were: amorpha-4,7(11)-diene and bicyclogermacrene. The morphological study of H. oreadica contributed to understanding the behavior of adult’s plants in relation to seasonal variation. Anatomical analysis of the leaves and young stems provided parameters for the correct identification of this species. This work presents the chemical composition of the essential oils from leaves, flowers and fruits of H. oreadica collected in Pirenópolis (Goiás)
