Abstract:
Artemisia pygmaea Gray contains two sesquiterpene alcohols: the known cryptomeridiol (I) and pygmol (II), a new compound. No sesquiterpene lactones were found in the plant although other species of the section Tridentatae Rydb., with which A. pygmaea has been classified, are usually rich in lactones.
