Prunus campanulata Maxim. also known as Taiwan cherry is a broadleaf tree native to Taiwan and is highly valued as an ornamental tree. Terpenoids are one of the most important sources of plant secondary metabolites with many functions such as attracting pollinators, defending against herbivores, and...
