Abstract
Foliage of trees from five Chinese Cupressus species was analysed for volatile monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids and diterpenoids. Multivaria te analysis of the terpenoid data indicated that C. gigantea is most d istinct, but otherwise no obvious chemotaxonomic groupings were eviden t. Comparison of the Cupressus analytical data with that of specimens of five Chamaecyparis species indicated that Cupressus funebris should not be reclassified into Chamaecyparis.
