The volatile components of leaves from Heterotheca inuloides Cass. were investigated by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). A total of 42 compounds were identified accounting for 91.8% of the oil. α‐Cubebene (22.5%), borneol (8.8%), myrcene (6.6%), caryophyllene epoxide (6.6%), bornyl acetate (6.1%), camphor (5.6%) and trans ,‐β‐ocimene (5.0%) were the major components representing more than 60%. The oil exhibited a characteristic camphoraceous odour.
