The jamun fruit (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels) and the rose pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) are species of multiple aptitudes with a high oil potential. Its essential oil produced by leaves, fruits and stems show a large variety of pharmacological properties. Evaluation of chlorophyll a fluorescence emission and monitoring of gas exchanges mechanisms may provide valuable data for plant functionality evaluation. Thus, the ecophysiological evaluation of these species, was conducted aiming to relate it with essential oil production. First, the content of chlorophyll a, b and total, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and oil essential productivity of the species was analyzed, extracted in the dry season. Subsequently, the liquid photosynthesis assimilate rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration, vapor pressure deficit, air and leaf temperature, internal carbon and fresh leaves oil productivity, in dry and rainy season were evaluated. For the ecophysiological parameters first studied, jamun fruit had higher values, in companson with rose pepper. As for the essential oil produced by the two species, rose pepper showed the best yield for fresh and dry leaves. It was not verified any direct relation between the photosynthetic apparatus efficiency and essential oil production to the two species studied. The results found in the following study pointed to significant differences in all variables and time influence in the studied species, in both seasons. In the rainy season, a different tendency in the species evaluated according to the dry season was found. In the highest humidity season were verified the highest net photosynthesis rates (A), stomatal conductance (Gs) and transpiration (E), for rose pepper and jamun fruit trees. In this same season, the highest contents of internal carbon (Ci) were verified. The essential oil production in the two species, generally, did not vary seasonally. This variation was only seen for dry rose pepper leaves. with a higher productivity in the rainy season. As the previous study, it was not possible to correlate the ecophysiological parameters studied with the secondary metabolites production
