Abstract
The essential oils of Laserpitium gallicum. L. (Apiaceae) from two sites in southern France have been analyzed. In plants from one site, α.- and β.-pinene were the main components, whereas the samples from the second site displayed approximately equal amounts of α.-pinene, β.-pinene, sabinene, and limonene. Additionally, some oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, and oxygenated sesquiterpenoids could be found. The leaf oil had a composition similar to the fruit oil.
