Chemical constituents of Mosla dianthera Maxim essential oil were studied. Experimental results showed that its main constituents are: carvacrol, thymol, β-caryophyllene, thujone, 1,8-cineole, and isopulegone. The chemical constituents of essential oil among different growth areas have hereditary similarity and difference, and the content of essential oil in different areas has some rules in different growth seasons. In addition, the content of amino acids reaches 13.96%, and the kinds of mineral elements in seeds are abundant. The contents of unsaturated fatty acids in its seed oil are as follows: linolenic acid (67.36%) and linonic acid (15.12%), which is necessary for human. The content of total flavones from its plant was from 1.76% to 4.15%. The seed and its oil are high nutritional ingredients. Therefore, the plant resources have promising prospects in food, essence, medicine and perfume.
