The essential oil yields and their chemical constituents were determined. The essential oil yield are about 0. l8% ~ 0.5%, l00 kinds of chemical constituents were identified from the essen-tial oil, which are menthol, menthone, piperitenone epoxied, L-limonene, linaiool and so on. The chemical classification of the planting M.canadensis belong in carvone series. The chemical classi- fication of the wild M.canadensis belong in menthone series, but some of the wild M.canadensis belong in mescellaneous series.
