Summary, etc. <p>The rhizomes of <em>Nardostachys grandiflora </em>DC. syn.<em> N. jatamansi</em> DC. were collected from two alpine Himalayan locations of Uttarakhand (India). The essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the concentration variation in their constituents. A total of 22 compounds were identified in both the oil samples, accounting 97.6-98.4 %. The major constituents of <em>N. grandiflora </em>oils were characterised as patchoulol (39.1-46.8 %) and calarene (15.1-21.6 %). Due to the higher relative area quantum of patchoulol in <em>N. grandiflora </em>populations growing in Uttarakhand, there is need to develop a propagation protocol for mass multiplication and <em>in-situ</em> and <em>ex-situ</em> conservation of <em>N. grandiflora</em>.</p>
