“…17 Finally, the presence of many major components in the essential oil from the lower Himalayan region of India compared with those of Indonesian origin shows, to a certain extent, the stability of A. galanga in its chemical aspect, while the variation in the chemical composition of these oils may be attributed to variation in their environmental conditions and geographical origin, which significantly affect the chemical composition of the essential oils. 20,21 …”

Essential Oil Composition of Four Achillea Species from the Balkans and Its Chemotaxonomic Significance

“…The high content of camphane type compounds was previously described [15,17,18]. The high camphor level in A. clavennae was probably due to the efficient oxidation of borneol whose concentration was expectedly low [19]. In addition to these marker compounds the oil consisted of camphene (3.10 %) and caryophyllene oxide (2.25%).…”

“…In view of the fact that these two species were collected at the same locality, the production of the terpenes seems to be governed exclusively by environmental factors, as suggested by Maffei [19].…”
