Abstract: Cortical turpentine compositions of 69 individuals from 10 Pinus armandi seed sources originating throughout the range were analysed in a provenance test forest by a gas chromatography-mass spectra-computer combined instrument. The results showed that the turpentine contained in the farks of P. armandi were mainly monoterpene and sesquiterpene. The content of diterpene was detected as minor constituent. The significant geographic vatiations between total amounts of monoterpene and sesquiterpene, including a-pinene dipentaene and hop alkene, and the latitutes of its provenance origin were observed. The trees from the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau seed provenance contained mainly monoterpene. On the contrary, the sesquiterpene was mainly contained in Qinling-Daba mountain seed provenance.
