Lindera triloba is a plant species belonging to the genus Lindera. It is endemic to Japan, and is called Shiro-moji in Japanese.[2]

Use

In Japan, the strong branch was used for walking sticks. The seed oil obtained by squeezing ripe fruit was used as fuel for lanterns. The leaves have a unique odor, and the essential oil can be extracted by hydrodistillation. The seedlings for gardening and garden trees are sold to enjoy the autumn leaves.[2]

Biochemistry

Sesquiterpenes such as delobanone and acetoxydelobanone have been isolated from Lindera triloba.[3]

The sesquiterpenes (α-Cadinol, δ-Cadinene etc.) were also found in the essential oils.[4]
