Headspace volatile compounds of leaf, stem, and root of Peucedanum japonicum Thunberg (PJT) harvested in March and July were isolated, separated, and identified by using a combined system of solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Identified numbers of volatile compounds were 72, 75, and 63 in March PJT as well as 78, 73, and 69 in July, respectively. Total compounds identified from PJT consisted of alcohols (1~7), aldehydes (7~15), esters (1~4), hydrocarbons (5~9), ketones (1~2), monoterpenes (13~16), monoterpene alcohols (1~5), monoterpene aldehydes (2~4), monoterpene esters (1~4), monoterpene ketones (1~2), sesquiterpenes (16~24), and miscellaneous compounds (2~3). Major volatile compounds of PJT were monoterpenes at all harvest times and in all parts of PJT. The amounts of ${eta}$-pinene in leaf and stem harvested in March were highest in monoterpenes, followed by ${alpha}$-pinene and ${eta}$-myrcene. However, amounts of volatile compounds of monoterpenes in leaf and stem from July PJT were in the decreasing order of ${eta}$-pinene, ${eta}$-phellandrene, and ${eta}$-myrcene. Of the 39 sesquiterpenes identified in PJT, (E)-caryophyllene in March leaf was the most abundant volatile compound, followed by acoradiene in March leaf, ${eta}$-elemene, and ${alpha}$-copaene in July stem.
