Abstract
The essential oil of Artemisia verlotiorum, which has been cultivated for the first time in the subtropical conditions of the north Indian plains, was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Oils were produced from plants harvested both in their vegetative and flowering stages yielding oils of 0.9% and 0.6%, respectively. Thirty-three constituents amounting to 90–93% of the oil were identified. In both the stages, the major oil constituents were α-thujone (20.3–26.0%) and camphor (17.3–17.7%). The amounts of both constituents increased during flowering.
