Resumo

The essential oil composition of two Spanish populations of Artemisia pedemontana Balbis. has been studied by GC and GC–MS. Variations on the chemical composition of both samples depending on the place of collection have been detected. The main constituents of the oil from A. pedemontana gathered in Cañón de Río Lobos (Ap.Rl) were found to be camphor (49.2%) and 1,8-cineole (12.6%), whereas the oil from this species collected in Mirador de la Galiana (Ap.Mg) showed davanone (28.4%) as major compound. According to our results we suggest the presence of two chemotypes of A. pedemontana camphor+1,8-cineole and davanone
