„Nardostachys jatamansi (D. Don) D.C. of the family Valerianaceae is a small herbaceous Himalayan species found between 3000 and 5000 m asl. Nayar and Shastry (1988), the CAMP report (1997) and Airi et al. (2000) identify N. jatamansi as a critically endangered species of Northwest Himalaya. It is a perennial, dwarf, hairy, rhizomatous herb forming a group or cluster of several individuals with thick rootstock covered with fibres. It has a long juvenile phase (vegetative growth phase) of 3-4 years followed by a short reproductive phase. Propagation is clonal during the vegetative growth phase and seed germination is very low (10-20%) in nature.“

Probably the plant of the „nard oil“ of the bible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nardostachys_jatamansi
From greek „nárdos“ = fragrant. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indische_Narde
Tomentose to pilose plant, 16-60 cm tall, native to the Himalayas, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and China.

„β-Maaliene, 9-aristolene, calarene and patchouli alcohol were identified as the major volatile constituents of N. chinensis, whereas aromadendrene, cube-11-ene, epi-α-selinene, spirojatamol and valeranone were identified as those of N. grandiflora. Using the peaks of β-maaliene and 9-aristolene in GC profiles as the marker, two Nardostachys species were clearly distinguished among the samples examined.“

SPME-GC-MS analyses of an hexane extract of spikenard showed the main components calarene (82.3%), aristolene (8.3%), and valerena-4,7(11)-diene (3.9%).

Sleep time of pentobarbital-treated mice was prolonged by about 2.7 times with valerena-4,7(11)-diene isolated from spikenard, an effect similar to that of chlorpromazine administered orally.

„The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation from the N. jatamansi roots, collected from local market. The yield of oil was 0.245%. The gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric analysis revealed the presence of 26 compounds, out of which 10 principal components were, identified. It was recorded that ledene oxide[II] (13.021%), and sesquiterpine alcohol patchouli alcohol (9.582%) were major component of the oil. [-]-spathulenol (2.672%), globulol (1.876%), 4-[3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl]-4-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-enone (1.849%), magastigma-4,6[E], 8[Z]-triene (1.015%), aristolene(0.997%), β-vatirenene (0.932%), were present in considerable quantity.“

The main components of the hydrodistilled essential oil from Nardostachys jatamansi roots (yield of 1.07% v/w, based on dry weight) were calerene (25.9%), patchouol (10.6%), α-gurjunene (7.5%), aristolone (7.1%), β-maaliene (6.5%), and spathulenol (4.3%). Minor components included the typical valerian odour-determining isovaleric acid (1.5%), 3-methylvaleric acid (2.3%), and valeric acid (0.4%) together with e.g. 1.8-cineole (3.6%), β-ionone (1.0%), and α-bulnesene (1.4%).
