The plant Artemisia pallens is cultivated throughout Tamilnadu for ritual purpose.The peoples in Tamilnadu, particularly the women are wearing these leaves on their scalp hair for their fragrance. The perfume produced from these plant to create fragrances with truly individual notes.At the same time, they were used as medicines to cure some disorders mental illness,skin disesaes and actas antihelmintic, antipyretic, antibacterial, antifungal, tonic properties, wound healing medicine. Hence in the present investigation, ethanolic extract of Artemisia pallens were prepared and analysed by GCMS to evaluate their phytoconsitituents. The GCMS results showed ten major peaks with nine known compounds such as(1)7-Hydroxy-3-(1,1-dimethylprop-2-enyl) coumarin,(2) 2,6,6-Trimethyl-bicylo [3.1.1] hept-3-ylamine (3) 7-Dehydrocholesteryl isocaproate (4) N-Hexadecanoic acid (5) Beta carotene (6) Cholst-8-en-3-ol, 14-methyl_ (3-beta,5-alpa (7) 3,6-Methano-8h-1.5.7-trioxacyclopenta [ij] cycloprop (a) azulene-4.8 (3h)(8) Cholesta-8, 24-dien-3-ol, 4-methyl (3-beta., 4-alpa)(9) Retinol, acetate.
