The seasonal variations of the composition of the essential oil of Artemisia verlotiorum leaves have been analyzed by ion-trap CG-EIMS and GC-CIMS. Twelve samples have been collected, one for each month of the year. The main components identified were: 1,8-cineole, germacrene D, beta-thujone, beta-caryophyllene, borneol, camphor, and myrcene. Qualitative and quantitative have been observed for some compounds. With the exception of November, 1,8-cineole was the main component of the essential oil.
