Artemisia from Asteraceae (Compositae) family has 34 genus in Iran. With respect to its vast cover،density and distribution. It is one of the most important genus after Astragalus. Artemisia species have favorite characteristics from medicinal plants viewpoint.They have considerable amount of essential oils and aromatic compositions. In this research the essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of A. annua L.،A. scoparia waldst. and kit.،A. spicigera C. Koch., and A. absinthium L. that grow wild in the north of Iran were studied. The oils were analyzed by capillary GC and GC-MS. The most oil yield was obtained from A. absinthium (0.92%). The main constituent of the oils were as fallow: A. annua; artemisia ketone (14.3 %)،A. scoparia; capillene (48.5%)،A. spicigera;camphor (40.0%)، A. absinthium; α-phellandrene (25.5%). KEYWORDS: A. annua L.; A. scoparia waldst. and kit.; A. spicigera C. Koch.;A. absinthium L. Asteraceae (Compositae); Essential oil composition; Artemisia ketone; Capillene Camphor; α − phellandrene
