The genus Artemisia (Compositae) contains small herbs or shrubs found in northern temperate regions. Thirty-four species of the genus Artemisia are found in Iran, of which two are endemic viz., A. melanolepis Boiss. and A. kermanensis Podl. 1. Several Artemisia species have medicinal importance and are useful in traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases and complaints. A. annua is a traditional medicinal herb of China. It is presently being cultivated on a commercial scale in China and Vietnam for its antimalaria sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin 2. In addition, A. annua is valued for its essential oil 3. Various medical applications have been ascribed to the essential oils of Artemisia 4-6 for example A. dracunculus has been used orally as an antiepileptic remedy in which its anticonvulsant potential has been assessed 5. Numerous reports have appeared in the literature on the essential oils and its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of different species of Artemisia 7-21. In previous studies on A. deserti herb, some compounds such as germaceranolide, guanolide, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, were elucidated from extract of the aerial parts 22. The essential oil of A. deserti areal parts was also investigated 21,21. In the present study, for
