Artemisia parviflora Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. (Family: Asteraceae) a perennial herb, widely distributed in hilly parts between altitude of 900-3500 and is used for the treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes and possesses anthelmintic and anti-viral properties. The essential oil of aerial parts of A. parviflora was analyzed by Gas chromatography and Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry. A total of 45 compounds were present of which 37 compounds were identified representing 96.60 % of the oil. The oil was dominated by the presence of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (70.24 %) such as germacrene D (41.01 %), β-caryophyllene (10.58 %) and α-humulene (7.86 %).

“…In addition, β-caryophyllene and germacrene D were common constituents in all studied oils. A. capillaris [16] and A. dracunculus contained capillene as marker constituent [17], whereas A. parviflora contained camphor [18], and β-eudesmol and spathulenol [19], as marker constituents. Even though, most communications revealed consistent volatile compositions in Artemisia species.…”
