Essential oil of the root of Angelica decursiva(Miq.) Fr. et Sav. (Umbelliferae) was investigated. Essential oil was obtained from the dried roots by steam distillation and fractionated by column chromatography. Each isolate or fraction was identified by GC, GC-MS and spectral analysis. It was found to contain ten monoterpenes such as ${alpha}-pinene$ (7.0%) etc. Three hydrocarbons, two aldehydes, three sesquiterpenes, two sesquiterpene alcohols, one aromatic compounds, one ketone, isobonyl acetate and two lactones were tentatively identified.
