The volatile leaf oil of Juniperus chinensis L., gown as ornamental tree in the plains of northern India, was examined by GC and GC‐MS. Thirty‐three components representing 94.8% of the oil were characterized with sabinene (19.8%), elemol (18.6%), bornyl acetate (17.5%) and limonene (14.2%) as major constituents. The oil was found to be polymorphic neither for cedrene/thujopsene/cedrol (typical juniper wood oil components) nor for phenolics such as methyl chavicol, safrole, methyl eugenol and elemicin, derived from phenyl propanoid pathway.
