Abstract
The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Eremostachys macrophylla growing in the wild in Iran have been examined by GC-FID and GC-MS. Altogether, 16 compounds were identified, constituting approximately 96.4% of the oil. The oil of E. macrophylla consisted mainly of germacrene-D (47.1%), germacrene-B (17.8%), γ-elemene (9.1%), myrcene (6.7%), β-elemene (2.7%), and β-phellandrene (2.6%).
