Hydrodistilled oil obtained from the aerial parts of Artemisia scoparia Waldst. & Kit. was analysed by capillary GC and GC–MS. The volatile oil of the 10–15 cm high herb was composed mainly of eight monoterpenes (ca. 68.5%), and the predominant constituents were β ‐myrcene (24.4%), γ ‐terpinene (18.3%), neral (12.5%) and cis ‐ p ‐mentha‐2‐en‐1‐ol (5.1%). Among seven sesquiterpenes (6.9%) present in the oil, the prominent one was β ‐caryophyllene (3.4%). p ‐Cymene (17.4%) and p ‐cymene‐8‐ol were the characterized aromatic compounds in the volatile oil. Three aliphatic constituents, identied as n ‐octane, n ‐heptadecane and n ‐eicosane, occurred in trace amounts. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
