Ledum palustre is an important perfume plant in northeast China, and widely distributed at Changbai mountain of Jilin province. The components and contents of essential oils in Ledum palustre were highly correlated with their growth environment. By using GC-MS, about 32 compounds were identified from Ledum palustre essential oils of Changbai mountain. The chemical components were L-bornyl acetate (20.2%), 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-benzene (16.5%), (−)-myrtenal (4.4%), terpinen-4-ol (4.3%), 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene (3.8%), trans-pinocarveol (3.7%), L(-)-borneol (3.0%), geranyl acetate (2.8%), (+)-aromandendrene (2.3%), ledol (1.7%), sabenene (1.6%), β-pinene (1.4%), camphene (1.1%), caryophyllene oxide (1.1%), and citronellyl formate (0.5%), which indicate the application of Ledum palustre essential oils from Changbai mountain should be different from other areas.
