Description | Bourbonene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Thus, bourbonene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Bourbonene is found in Achillea abrotanoides, Agastache rugosa, Ageratum conyzoides, Ajuga chamaepitys, Aloysia citrodora, Aloysia triphylla, Ambrosia trifida, Anthemis aciphylla, Anthemis aciphylla BOISS.var.discoidea BOISS, Aristolochia elegans, Artemisia arborescens, Aster scaber, Austrobaileya scandens, Austromyrtus dulcis, Bellis perennis, Betonica macrantha, Boswellia sacra, Bouchardatia neurococca, Bupleurum gibraltaricum, Calamintha nepeta subsp. glandulosa , Cantinoa mutabilis, Chromolaena odorata, Cistus albidus, Cistus creticus, Cleistopholis patens, Clinopodium serpyllifolium, Clinopodium suaveolens, Commiphora gurreh, Commiphora holtziana, Commiphora kataf, Commiphora myrrha, Cryptomeria japonica, Cyclotrichium niveum, Daphne papyracea, Daucus carota, Dendropanax trifidus, Eremanthus arboreus, Erigeron philadelphicus, Acca sellowiana, Geranium bourbon, Guatteriopsis blepharophylla, Hedyosmum costaricense, Heracleum dissectum, Mesosphaerum suaveolens, Hyssopus officinalis, Lallemantia peltata, Lavandula angustifolia , Lavandula canarien-sis, Lavandula dentata , Leonotis leonurus, Lepidozia vitrea, Liquidambar styraciflua, Lonicera japonica, Marrubium parviflorum, Melissa officinalis, Mentha arvensis L. , Mentha piperita, Mentha piperita L. , Mentha verticillata, Micromeria cristata, Micromeria maderensis, Micromeria myrtifolia, Micromeria sinaica, Morina persica, Mosla cavaleriei, Nepeta nuda, Nepeta racemosa, Ocimum basilicum, Ocimum gratissimum , Origanum adanense, Origanum laevigatum, Origanum vulgare , Pelargonium citronellum, Pelargonium endlicherianum, Pelargonium vitifolium, Perilla frutescens, Peucedanum paniculatum L., Phagnalon sordidum, Phyla dulcis, Pinus halepensis , Pinus mugo subsp.
