| Abstract | Abstract.—The volatile oil compositions of four entire leaf margin species of Juniperus are reported as analyzed by glass capillary gc-ms. This is the first report on the composition of Juniperus blancoi and includes the most comprehensive analyses of the minor as well as major components of J. scopulorum, J. horizontatis and J virginiam. Juniperus blancoi was found to be most similar to J. scopulorum and is postulated to have arisen from the southern Rocky Mountain portion of J. scopulorum or some common ancestor. The major components of J. blancoi are sahinene, manool, 4-terpineol, acetate II, myrcene, 2-nonanone and elemol. |
