The root oil of Valeriana hardwickii var. arnottiana (Valerianaceae) collected from the Milam region of the Himalayas was analysed by GC–MS. Twenty‐eight compounds were characterized, representing 92.1% of the total compounds detected. The essential oil showed a high content of oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The major constituents were valeracetate (17.3%), bornyl acetate (15.3%), methyl linoleate (11.7%), cuparene (10.4%) and α ‐cedrene (6.2%). Valeracetate was conrmed by 1 H‐ and 13 C‐NMR data; it may be used as a chemical marker for this variety. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
