<i>Lomatium</i> Species of the Intermountain Western United States: A Chemotaxonomic Investigation Based on Essential Oil Compositions.

ABSTRACT: Lomatium is a genus of 98 species, widely distributed in western North America. This work presents a chemometric analysis of the essential oils of seven species of Lomatium (L. anomalum, L. dissectum var. dissectum, L. multifidum, L. nudicaule, L. packardiae, L. papilioniferum, and L. triternatum var. triternatum) from the intermountain western United States (Oregon and Idaho). The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatographic methods. Lomatium packardiae essential oil can be characterized as limonene-rich, L. anomalum is a species rich in sabinene and α-pinene, and L. multifidum essential oils were rich in myrcene, while L. dissectum var. diss
