Twenty-three named cultivars of Rosmarinus officinalis L. were examined. These cultivars, derived from five botanical varieties, show wide ranges in the leading components: 0.06-57.45% a-pinene, 3.55-42.69% 1,b-cineole, 0.20-56.45% camphor, 0.66-21.03% bornyl acetate, and 0.40-14.69% borneol. They may be grouped into six chemical groups: (1) a-pinene > l,&cineole, (2) 1,b-cineole > a-pinene, (3) a-pinene > camphor + camphene > l,&cineole, (4) camphor + camphene > a-pinene >' l,&cineole, (5) camphor + camphene > 1,b-cineole > a-pinene, and (6) borneol + bornyl acetate > camphor.
Publication details, including instructions for authors and subscription information:ABSTRACT: The essential oil of Artemisia 'Powis Castle' is characterized by its richness in P-thujone (41.2f2.9%) and (z)-epoxy-ocimene (24.8f2.3%). The essential oil of 'Powis Castle' does not contradict a putative origin from A. absinthium x A. arborescens pending elucidation of the inheritance of essential components in the genus Artemisia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
