The volatile constituents of Achillea millefolium L. ssp. millefolium growing wild north‐east of Teheran, Iran, were studied by GC and GC‐MS. Twenty‐one constituents were identified. The main components were α‐bisabolol, spathulenol, cis ‐nerolidol, cis ‐carveol and trans, trans ‐farnesol. The percentage of sesquiterpenic components was high, attaining 55.4% of the total oil.
