The Vietnamese wood oil of Fokienia hodginsii L. (Cupressaceae) was analysed about 30 years
ago. The reinvestigation gave nearly the same composition and percentages as reported in 1971. The oil
contains exclusively sesquiterpenes with (E)-nerolidol (9, 35) and fokienol (10, 26) as main constituents and
dauca-8(14),11-dien-9-ol (16, 3) as a biogenetic key compound. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley and Sons,
