Abstract

Three members of the Achillea millefolium 'complex', the tetraploid variety 'Proa', a hexa- and an octaploid clone, were cultivated in a field experiment. The essential oil was obtained by steam distillation. A total of 149 constituents could be resolved by capillary gas chromatography. Eighty-two of the 118 compounds were identified by GC-MS analysis for the first time in yarrow. Qualitative and quantitative oil differences between the three cultivars are discussed.
