The essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of A. davajamtczii Darji., A.subchrysolepis Filat., A. gorjaevii Poljak., A. schischkinii Krasch., A.mongolica Fisch. ex. Nakai, A. gobica (Krasch.) Grub., A. intricata Franch., A. ordasica Krasch., A. saposhnicova Krasch., A. sphaerocepala Krasch., A. caespitosa Ldb., that grown in wild in Desert Gobi, Mongolia. The oils were analyzed by a combination of Capillary GC and GC-MS. The main constituents of the oils were as follow: A. davajamczii Darijimaa et RKam 1.8-cineol (28.83%), α-thujone (12.90%), camphor (8.53%), and β-thujone (6.76%). A. caespitosa Ldb: 1.8-cineole (31.10%), camphor (12.55%), α-thujone (7.32%) and terpinen-4-ol (6.83%). A subchrysolepis Filat: camphor (35.90%), β-thujone (20.82%), α-thujone (14.94%), 1.8-cineol (11.75%) and camphene (5.48%). A. gorjaevii. Poljak.: camphor (56.7%), 1.8-cineole (14.47%), β-thujone (8.98%) and α-thujone (5.26%). A. schischkinii Krash.: camphor (46.51%), 1.8-cineole (17.11%), α-thujone (15.40%) and sabinene (7.44%). A. mongolica Fisch. ex. Nakai: 1.8-cineole (14.58%), (Z)-β-ocimene (14.56%) and camphor (7.10%). A. gobica (Krasch) Grub.: camphor (25.16%), 1.8-cineole (15.30%), α-thujone (12.80%) and terpinen-4-ol (5.16%). A. intricata. Franch: camphor (50.02%), 1.8-cineole (15.38%) and camphene (5.11%). A. ordasica Krasch: (Z)-β-ocimene (19.14%), β-pinene (18.40%), limonene (8.20%), trans-sabinene hydrate (7.76%), α-pinene (7.10%). sabinene (6.66%) and p-cymene (5.74%). A. saposhnicova Krasch : β-pinene (18.86%), limonene (9.21%), (Z)-β-ocimene (8.69%), α-pinene (7.48%). and p-cymene (6.85%). A. sphaerocephala Krasch: β-pinene (16.16%), germacrene-D (14.83%),γ-terpinene (11.06%), 1.8-cineole ( 10.14%), (E)-β-ocimene (8.80%), α-pinene (5.41%) and (Z)-β-ocimene (5.10%).
