The essential oil of Dacrydium biforme has been fractionated in an efficient column and is shown to contain at least 15 constituents. Eight of these have been identified with known compounds, namely, myrcene, β‐terpinene, (+)‐longifolene, (+)‐aromadendrene, (‐)‐metrosiderene, (+)‐δ‐cadinene, (+)‐phyllocladene, and α‐camphorene. Other constituents include oxygenated terpenes, and a solid sesquiterpene alcohol.
