โฆ Synopsis
Artemisia roxburghiana Besser (Asteraceae) is a common perennial herb growing wild on dry open slopes and wasteland in the Himalayan region at altitudes between 1 000 and 4 300 m. Its essential oil was studied by GC, GCยฑMS, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR. One hundred and eight components were identiยฎed: 1,8-cineole (16.6%), camphor (15.2%) and a-thujone (10.0%) were the most abundant.
