The essential oils of Leptospermum brachyandrum (F. Muell.) Druce, L. luehmannii F. M. Bailey, L. madidum A. R. Bean subsp. madidum , L. purpurascens Joy Thomps., L. speciosum Schauer, L. whitei Cheel and L. pallidum A. R. Bean have been examined. All species produce α‐pinene as the major component. This was accompanied by lesser amounts of β‐pinene, β‐caryophyllene, aromadendrene, humulene and spathulenol. 1,8‐Cineole was present usually in amounts of less than 10%. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
